Thiago A. S. Pardo

I am full professor and researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (ICMC) at the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Carlos-SP/Brazil. I currently coordinate the Interinstitutional Center for Computational Linguistics (NILC), a research group on Natural Language Processing, which is a field of the Artificial Intelligence area. My main research interests include topics on sentiment analysis and opinion mining, and syntactic, semantic and discourse modeling and parsing. I am a founding member of the SBC Special Interest Group on Natural Language Processing (CE-PLN) and have worked to advance the technology of Portuguese language processing, aiming to bring it to the state of the art. In particular, I have a special appreciation for teaching and knowledge sharing.
