The project, financed by RE-C05-i08 – “Ciência Mais Digital” - PRR" within the call: Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Cybersecurity of relevance in Public Administration, aims to develop artificial intelligence algorithms, with a focus on natural language processing, to facilitate the understanding of municipal council meeting minutes. The expected outcome is a functional prototype that provides these minutes in a structured format, enabling citizens, journalists, and policymakers to access organized information about the topics discussed during council meetings. This includes relevant events grouped by council departments and the stances taken by each municipal council member. To achieve these objectives, collaboration protocols have been established with five municipalities (Alandroal, Campo Maior, Covilhã, Fundão, Guimarães, and Porto) and an association (Porto Digital). The research team is led by faculty members and researchers from INESC TEC, the University of Beira Interior, and the University of Porto.
Team
Our hard working team
Ricardo Campos
Principal Investigator UBI and INESC TECHis aim is to get new insights from news articles. In particular, he is interested in applying nlp as a means to understand how events relate to the temporal dimension.
Nuno Guimarães
PhD Researcher U. Porto and INESC TEC
Alípio Jorge
PhD Researcher U. Porto and INESC TECHis aim is to make the computer get the essential of a narrative, represent it and show the narrative as a timeline, a slide-show, a video or a game. The plan is to apply Machine Learning and NLP
Sérgio Nunes
PhD Researcher U. Porto and INESC TECHis aim is to explore novel solutions and applications for the automatic visualization and interaction with densely annotated narratives.
Evelin Amorim
PhD Researcher INESC TECMy main interests are NLP related research. Specifically, extraction of information of text, automatic essay scoring, and all the subtasks related to these two fields.
Purificação Silvano
PhD Researcher U. Porto and CLUPHer aim is to research temporal and causal relations in news articles and to contribute to the formal representation of meaning in narratives.
António Leal
PhD Researcher U. Porto and CLUPAntónio is mainly interested in the formal representation of meaning in Portuguese news, namely how tense, aspect and nominal reference can be encoded.
