Patrícia Pereira is a PhD Student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon and researcher at INESC-ID. She has been focusing on Emotion Recognition in Conversations and also worked on Emotion Annotation Guidelines, Emotional Response Generation and automatic metrics for Dialogue Quality Estimation.
Patrícia graduated in Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST and received a Master also in Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST and Computer Science and Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2020. Patrícia did her Master Thesis on Attractor Neural Network models of memory, at the KTH Computational Brain Science Lab. She modelled the human Lifespan Retrieval Curve from psychological studies with such networks.
Research Interests
Her main research interests other than her PhD research topics lie at the interesection of Artificial General Intelligence and Computational Neuroscience. She is also interested in Artificial Music Generation.
