Luís Filipe da Costa Cunha joined the Computer Science degree at the University of Minho in 2016. In 2022 he finished his master's degree in Computer Engineering with the thesis "NER in Archival Descriptions" which resulted in several article publications associated with the application of ML techniques in Natural Language Processing to extract semantic knowledge from Portuguese archival documents. He published 1 book chapter, 1 journal article, and 2 scientific conferences articles. During his degree he developed several projects such as NER@DI, available at http://ner.epl.di.uminho.pt/, a Web platform that allows to annotate and extract information from Portuguese archival documents. Since February 2022, Luís Filipe Cunha became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics at the Universidade do Minho, where he is teaching Natural Language Processing Scripting in the Masters in Computer Engineering and in the Masters of Biomedical Engineering. Now he intends to do a Ph.D. in order to continue the research already done.

Conference
 Welcome to WorldCist'22 - 10th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies
2021/09/13 - 2021/09/13 This workshop takes the perspective of archives, the guardians of immense volumes of information, both historical and current, driven by the need to keep a record of our past processes, achievements, and results. The growing interest in archival records and the availability of technologies that can take large volumes of data and process them is leading archives into the world of linked data. In this vision, the archives’ information is joined with data from other cultural heritage institutions and more informal sources.
