LUÍS MIGUEL SALGADO NUNES VILAÇA. Degree and Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and currently attending the Ph.D., in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. Since quite early in his academic path, he developed a particular interest in the field of Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML). Although these topics were not in the curricula, he challenged himself with projects related to Facial Detection and Recognition and was able to obtain a score of 18 and 20 (over 20) in his Bac. and MSc’ dissertations, respectively. He finished his MSc degree with an average score of 17 and was ranked in the top 10% of all students that finished their degree in the last three years. The experience obtained by working as a research assistant at INESC TEC, on several national and international projects, allowed him to strengthen his competencies as a goal-oriented person and to develop the skills to adapt to new challenging scenarios. During this period, he was involved in three different Multimedia-related projects, exploring emergent concepts and tools of CV and ML for different applications. His contributions to the European funded project FotoinMotion (Repurposing and enriching images for immersive video storytelling: 2018-2020) were crucial for the recognition as key innovation, for the use of computer vision and artificial intelligence approaches for content analysis and description for context-aware automatic content creation, awarded by the European Commission's innovation radar. His contributions were also described in a co-authored paper published in ACM MM 2020 (Core A*). Within the last six months, he was also involved in an online internship within the National Institute of Informatics (NII), allowing him to develop skills for ML in multimodal domains. From this experience, he enriched his work plan and was able to produce a paper, as first author, that systematizes and analyzes the SOTA of audio-visual correlation learning. This survey paper is currently under review in IJCAI 2022 (Core A*) survey track and was extremely important to consolidate his work plan. Additionally, he expects to continue collaborating with NII on more international challenges and experiences to expand his knowledge and awareness of his research field. During these last years, he was also engaged in the organization of workshops, co-supervision of master’s thesis, summer internships mentoring, and presentations of ongoing work for dissemination purposes or in project meetings. Besides the scientific aspects, his participation in these types of activities also enabled him to further develop his soft skills, from which he started to understand how to redirect information for reaching different audiences. Currently, as an invited assistant, he is teaching a class on Advanced Computational Systems in the School of Engineering of the Polytechnic of Porto. This experience is allowing him to strengthen and test his teaching skills, which are fundamental when learning new concepts or fields.
