	João Graça ~~graduated in Informatics and Computer Science Engineering in 2002 from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon. He received~~ a ~~Masters Degree in Informatics~~ and ~~Computer Science Engineering in 2006, also from IST, on artificial intelligence with the development of~~ a ~~framework for integrating natural language tools~~. He was a ~~teaching assistant in IST from (2003) to (2006) where he taught object oriented programming and compilers. He is also~~ researcher at ~~Spoken Language Systems Lab (L2F)~~.		João Graça is currently a research scientist at FlashGroup and a researcher at Inesc-ID. Previously he was a
			post doctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania working under the supervision of Prof. Ben Taskar. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, where he was advised jointly by Luisa Coheur, Fernando Pereira and Ben Taskar. His main research interest are Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. Currently his research focus on unsupervised learning with high level supervision in the form of domain specific prior knowledge, and on the utility of unsupervised methods for real world applications.
	He ~~is currently on the fourth year of~~ his PhD ~~program~~ in ~~collaboration with the~~ University of ~~Pennsylvania~~ where he ~~passed the last years as an invited student~~. His ~~PhD is focused on machine learning~~ and ~~natural language processing~~. Currently ~~he has been involved in new learning methods for~~ unsupervised learning with domain specific ~~constraints~~.
