Short biography

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1971.

I graduated in Software and Computer Engineering at IST - Instituto Superior Técnico in 1994. I got my MSc in Electrical and Computers Engineering also at IST in 1997, with a thesis on "Permissive Belief Revision". I got my PhD in Computer Science also at IST in 2007, with a thesis on "Improving Methods for Single-label Text Categorization"

I do my research at GIA - Grupo de Inteligência Artificial.

I started teaching at IST in 1992. I belong to the Artificial Intelligence Group (GIA) of the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DEI - Departamento de Engenharia Informática).

My PhD work was in the area of Information Retrieval, more specifically in Text Categorization, but I am also interested in the following areas:

Here you can find the Datasets for single-label text categorization that I used in my work.
