Gil Rocha

Gil Rocha is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Human Language Technologies Laboratory (HLT) of Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores: Investigação e Desenvolvimento (INESC-ID). At INESC-ID, he is currently participating in the research project Center for Responsible AI.

Gil Rocha obtained a Masters Degree (M.Sc.) in Informatics and Computing Engineering (MIEIC) in 2016 from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), with a specialization in the topics of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Multi-Agent Systems. In 2023, he obtained a Doctoral Degree (Ph.D.) in Informatics Engineering (ProDEI) from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). During his Ph.D., he worked on the research area of Argumentation Mining, combining techniques from Computational Linguistics and Machine Learning to automatically detect, identify, and extract arguments from text. He also conducted research towards the development of robust argumentation mining systems that can be employed across different languages and genres, exploring cross-language and cross-genre approaches. From 2016 to 2023, he was a research member at the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Research Laboratory (LIACC), participating in several research projects related to Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Argumentation.

Research interests: Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Argumentation Mining, Computational Semantics, Transfer Learning, Cross-Language Learning, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, and Multi-Agent Systems.
