Research topics.
His main interests are in interdisciplinary areas including oral and written discourse analysis and processing, development of linguistic technologies and digital humanities. This includes multimodal studies of orality, speech synthesis, artificial intelligence technologies for language processing and their application in different domains (historical and socio-cultural). His main research line at IEGPS focuses on emotion recognition and annotation in historical corpora, using artificial intelligence tools.
Other activities.
Currently, she is an external researcher in the “Proxecto Nós” whose main objective is the development of artificial intelligence technologies for Galician. She has actively collaborated with several international research groups, including the Grupo Red Complejidad y Lenguaje of La Habana (Cuba), the CODISCO project ("La construcción discursiva del conflicto: territorialidad, imagen de la enfermedad e identidades de género en la literatura y la comunicación social), funded by the Ministerio de Industria y Competitividad and Feder funds (Code: FFI2017-85227-R, Period: 2018-21), and the R&D&I Project ”DeepR3. gal: Reducing, Reusing and Recycling large models for developing Responsible and Green Language Technologies” (TED2021-130295BC33) of CiTIUS-USC.
He has participated in conferences such as the VI Congress of the International Society for Hispanic Digital Humanities and the International Congress on Computational Processing of Portuguese (PROPOR-2024) and has also been part of the local organizing committee of the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2024).
