StorySense
The high-level grand challenge we aim to contribute to is narrative understanding. This involves, not only the development of automatic methods suited to extract complex semantic relations between the narrative components and the different narrative levels, but also to enrich their formal representation with links to knowledge-based and ontologies. The ultimate goal is to model a computational representation of a narrative in a form of a narrative ontology.
Team
Our hard working team
Alípio Jorge
Principal Investigator 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
Ricardo Campos
Co-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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nuno Guimarães
PhD Researcher U. Porto and INESC TEC
Hugo Sousa
PhD Student U. Porto and INESC TECLooking for a away to make models temporally aware.
Luís Filipe Cunha
PhD Student U. Porto and INESC TECDeveloping algorithms to identify and categorize events, extracting meaningful information about occurrences, relationships, and actions from text.
Nana Yu
PhD Student U. Porto and CLUPHer aim is to annotate causal relations in news articles in European Portuguese.
Ana Filipa Pacheco
MSc Student U. Porto and CLUPMy aim is to explore the temporal relations in news in European Portuguese by focusing on events and the relations between them.
Inês Cantante
PhD Student U. Porto and CLUP
Rúben Almeida
MSc Researcher U. Porto and INESC TEC
Rute Rebouças
PhD Student U. Porto and CLUP
Ana Luísa Fernandes
MSc Student U. PortoHer aim is to investigate temporal information in clinical narratives, specifically events, temporal expressions, and the temporal relationships between them
Rita Rb-Silva
PhD Researcher CINTESIS and CI-IPOP
Rita Lopes
Msc Student U. Porto
Rita Silva
MSc Student U. PortoHer aim is to investigate how to effectively communicate news narratives through visualization techniques, with a focus on collaborative efforts involving design and illustration.
