Anabela Barreiro has received her BA, Master and PhD degrees in Linguistics from the [http://www.fl.ul.pt/ Universidade de Lisboa] (1991), [http://www.fcsh.unl.pt/ Universidade Nova de Lisboa] (1998), and [http://sigarra.up.pt/flup_uk/web_page.inicial/ Universidade do Porto] (2009), respectively. Part of her doctoral research was developed at [http://cims.nyu.edu/ New York University], at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Her career has been divided between the academic and the corporate worlds, with differing international and multidisciplinary responsibilities. In several occasions, she collaborated with the Portuguese National Scientific Computing Foundation [http://www.fccn.pt/pt/ FCCN] providing linguistic services for the [http://www.linguateca.pt/ Linguateca] project, participated in joint evaluation tasks, and served as an independent expert for the European Commission on the evaluation of proposals submitted to European research and innovation funding programs on language technology. She has also been working as an independent consultant, a language teacher, a translator/interpreter between English and Portuguese, and an entrepreneur in distinct fields. Her research career in computational linguistics started at [http://www.inesc-id.pt/ INESC]’s Natural Language Group (1993–1995). During this 3-year period at INESC, she was a consultant for Logos Corporation, a US-based pioneer machine translation company, where she became a full-time employee (1995–2001). At Logos, she worked on the English-Portuguese, Italian and Spanish systems, and performed collateral tasks, such as linguistic quality assurance. Her research focuses on the development and evaluation of linguistic resources for automated text processing and machine translation, having specialized in the latest years in automated paraphrasing and their application to authoring aids, text production and revision, and cross-language tasks. For the last few years, she has been exploiting open source resources (namely [http://logos-os.dfki.de/ OpenLogos]) to create new linguistically enhanced natural language processing applications. She is currently engaged at INESC in a post-doctoral research to develop a hybrid machine translation system that couples semantico-syntactic knowledge with statistical machine translation.
