Joana Paulo Pardal’s Summary
Joana Paulo Pardal graduated in Informatics and Computer Science Engineering (a 5 year full-time degree) in 2001 from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. She received an MSc degree in 2004 also from IST. Both with Nuno J. Mamede as advisor. In 2006 she started her PhD work also at IST on Dynamic Integration of Ontologies in Generic Spoken Dialogue Systems, with Nuno J. Mamede, H. Sofia Pinto and James F. Allen as advisors.
She has been a Lecturer at IST since 2002, teaching object-oriented programming and design patterns, knowledge representation, artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, and distributed systems.
She has been a researcher at the Spoken Language Systems Laboratory (L²F) of INESC-ID since 2001. Her research interests include knowledge representation; design, use (and reuse) of ontologies; semantic web and semantic web services; spoken dialogue systems; integration of ontologies in spoken dialogue systems; written natural language processing. She participates on «Dialogs on Dialogs» Reading Group at CMU.
In the past, she has participated in several national projects. In 2004 she was invited for a training period at Groupe de Recherche dans les Industries de la Langue (GRIL), at Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont Ferrand, France. In 2006 she spent the Fall term at the Computer Science Department, University of Rochester, NY, USA. She was part of the Continuous Understanding team and took the course of Natural Language Processing.
She is a student member of ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), ACL (The Association for Computational Linguistics) and AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence).
