I carry out my research in the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis (LIAAD) that belongs to INESC TEC research lab. Within LIAAD I coordinate a research line named Modeling Dynamic Systems.
My research revolves around the general area of Data Science, with a strong focus on Predictive Analytics. The main topics of my current research are the following:
Ubiquous Data Mining
- Spatio-temporal mining
- Mining from network data
- Forecasting time series
|
Mining Rare Events
- Predicting extreme values
- Outlier detection
- Outlier ranking
|
Text Mining
- Sentiment analysis
- Opinion mining
|
Regression Analysis
- Regression trees
- Rule-based regression
|
Utility-based Learning
- Utility-based regression
- Evaluation of regression models
|

As an engineer I'm particularly interested in real world applications of my research work. The main application areas of my research have been:
Financial Markets
- Stock market prediction
- Autonomous trading systems
- Mining from financial news
|
Ecological Modeling
- Predicting algae blooms
- Monitoring water distribution networks
- Forecasting water quality parameters
- Forecasting forest fires
|
Fraud Detection
- Tax fraud
- Foreign trade transactions
