Thesis: “Large-Scale Semantic Relationship Extraction”
• I researched different methods to perform semantic relationship extraction between named‑entities and proposed a classifier based on the idea of nearest neighbour and leveraging min‑hash and locality sensitive hashing for efficient similarity search.
• To obtain training data, for the classifier, I proposed a bootstrapping technique relying on distributional word representations which was awarded an Honorable Mention for…Thesis: “Large-Scale Semantic Relationship Extraction”

Thesis: “Geographic Text Mining”
•Developed an information extraction system based on Conditional Random Fields and an ontology, to generate geographic summaries. The summary lists all the geographic entities found in a document mapped to unique concepts in the geographic ontology.
• The system was applied to a crawl of the Portuguese Web (25GB raw text) using a Hadoop cluster, generating summaries for hundreds of thousands of documents. -

Technical description:
• Data: news headlines from almost 25 years of Portuguese archived newspapers.
• Developed supervised models to detect relationships between politicians.
• Entity Linking between politicians mentioned in the headlines and Wikidata.
• Semantic graph connecting politicians through relationships supported by news articles.
• The graph is indexed in a SPARQL engine and published through a web interface -
REACTION (Retrieval, Extraction and Aggregation Computing Technology for Integrating and Organizing News)

• I took part in the REACTION (Retrieval, Extraction and Aggregation Computing Technology for Integrating and Organizing News) an initiative for developing a computational journalism platform (mostly) for Portuguese.
• The project developed information extraction, social media mining and information visualisation technologies for assisting journalists in the production of news stories.Andere Mitarbeiter:innenProjekt anzeigen -
GREASE-II - Geographic Reasoning for Search Engines

• I took part in the GREASE-II which researched information access methods to large collections of documents and objects having geographically rich text and meta-data, with emphasis on the web.
• The geographic content of a document is characterized by geographic signatures, a set of automatically extracted geographic tags, mapped directly into ontologic geographic concepts.
• The geographic signatures were evaluated in multiple scenarios, such as improving geographic retrieval…• I took part in the GREASE-II which researched information access methods to large collections of documents and objects having geographically rich text and meta-data, with emphasis on the web.
