35 years separate the beginning and the end of the teaching career of João Gama, one of the most-cited scientists in the world. The INESC TEC researcher, who presented his Last Lecture on November 25, said “goodbye” to the classrooms of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto (FEP). The motto? "Where do We Come From? Where are we going?” – the culmination of a recognised academic career, particularly in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning.

The paper "Event Extraction for Portuguese: A QA-driven Approach using ACE-2005" won the Best Student Paper Award at the 22nd Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA’23). This research work led to the development of an event extraction framework for the Portuguese language. The solution differs not only by targeting Portuguese texts, but by allowing (in addition to the identification and classification of event triggers) the extraction of the arguments associated with the event, namely participants and attributes.
