Curriculum Vitae

Dalila Alves Durães

Assistant Professor of Computer Sciences at the Department of Informatics, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. Researcher at the ALGORITMI Centre and LASI (Intelligent Systems Associate Laboratory) at the group ISlab - Synthetic Intelligence. She graduated in Electronic Engineering and Informatics in 1995 and, in 2004, completed his master's degree in Industrial Electronic Engineering in Automation and Robotics. She holds two international PhD: one in Educational Sciences, in Teachers, Curricula and Educational Institutions, from the University of Granada, Spain, completed in 2012, and another in Artificial Intelligence by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, completed in 2018. She started her career on 2015 developing scientific research in the field of Intelligent Systems/Artificial Intelligence (AI) namely in Human-Computer Interaction, Machine and Deepl Learning, Behavior Analysis, with particular attention to the detection of violence, sentiment analysis, Intelligent Tutoring and Recognition of Human Actions. Her interests, in the last years, was absorbed by the broad, yet closely related, concepts of Intelligent Environments, Data Fusion, Digital Assistants, Artificial Intelligent applying to Education, and the incorporation of AI methods and techniques in these fields. Its main research objective is to make systems smarter, sensible, and reliable. She is the author and co-author of over 80 book chapters, journal papers, conference and workshop papers, and books (with peer review). She is also a member of the editorial board of several international journals. During the past few years, she has served as an expert/reviewer for several conferences and journals. She has participated in several research projects sponsored by Portuguese and European public and private Institutions, namely post-doc researcher on the Easy Ride: Experience is everything project (no. 039334), co-funded by the FEDER through Portugal 2020 and COMPETE 2020, where she coordinated the team of PhD researchers on the project; researcher hired to coordinate the team of Scholarship members (about 16) of the University of Minho in the project with the reference NORTE01-0145- FEDER-000086, co-financed by NORTE2020, Portugal 2020, by developing scientific research activities on smart cities and applying to the municipality of Guimarães; researcher hired to coordinate the team of Scholarshipers (4) of the University of Minho in the project Hello: Intelligent platform for combating school failure - Refª NORTE-01-0247-FEDER-047004 (SI I&DT - Projects in Co-promotion with other university and the company Codevision, where all research was applied to a product of these company; and Member of the ERASMUS+ Project AIM4VET where we developed research to be applied on secondary school on the field of Artificial Intelligence. She has supervised 2 Ph.D. (1 International completed, 1 ongoing), and 15 Msc students (completed 9, 6 ongoing). Invited of jury: PhD, 8 ( 3 national university and 5 on International Universities); Msc, 12. Chair of the IEEE in Computational Intelligence Society, Portugal Chapter (2022-2024) and now vice-Chair. Vice-chair of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). She has 2 Awards and Distinctions - Recognition by the Scientific Community: Best Paper in 2nd International Conference on sustainable Smart Cities and Territories International 2023, and Best Paper Application Award in 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2019. International research collaboration with different universities, resulting on the production several paper journal with high impact factor, several conference with peer-reviews and some book chapter.

A conversational agent for smart schooling: a case study on K-12 dropout risk assessment. The goal of smart education is to utilize advanced technology in order to improve the teaching experience by establishing a stimulating and interactive atmosphere for learning. Conversational agents emerge as an aid for a smarter education. One of the possibilities to be explored is the building of tools that help predict and prevent student failure or dropout. This case study presents a research. 2023. Magalhães, Renata; Veloso, Bruno; Marcondes, Francisco Supino; Lima, Henrique; Durães, Dalila; Novais, Paulo. https://hdl.handle.net/1822/89836.

Prediction of students’ grades based on non-academic data. This study examines the use of machine learning techniques to predict Math and Portuguese grades based on student demographics and survey data regarding their school experiences. Using a sample of 53 middle school students, an accuracy rate of 93% was achieved with a support vector machine model. This paper’s findings suggest that non-academic factors such as school climate and student engagement. 2023.

A systematic review on student failure prediction. Today, students tend to drop out of school more easily. It is necessary to find out what causes students to have such school failure in order to try to help them succeed in their school life. For this purpose, it is necessary to acquire data about students, and the area of Educational Data Mining (EDM) appears. EDM aims to develop methods for exploring data recovered from educational environments,. 2023.

This paper uses a dataset with high school information (756 entries) for creating a model that relates year failures with the other features on the dataset. The resulting model, based on XGBoost, shows that the top-ranked features are related with motivation issues corroborating with the initial observation. In this sense, a digital assistant. 2022.

A bibliometric review and analysis of traffic lights optimization. The significant increase in the number of vehicles in urban areas emerges the challenge of urban mobility. Researchers in this area suggest that most daily delays in urban travel times are caused by intersections, which could be reduced if the traffic lights at these intersections were more efficient. The use of simulation for real intersections can be effective in optimizing the cycle times and i. 2022. Witeck, Gabriela R.; Rocha, Ana Maria A.

Until now, the level of attention of a worker has been evaluated through his/her productivity: the more one produces, the better his/her attention at work.
