معرفی
Bruno Martins is an Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) of the University of Lisbon, affiliated with the Human Language Technologies Lab at INESC-ID and the Lisbon ELLIS Unit (LUMLIS). His research focuses on information retrieval, text mining, geographical information sciences, and machine learning. He leads projects on geospatial aspects of information access and integrates NLP, ML, and GIS methodologies.
Research Interests:
- Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR)
- Text Mining & Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Machine Learning Applications in Geospatial Analysis
- Information Extraction from Historical Documents
Recent Research Trends: Recent work emphasizes deep learning for geospatial tasks (e.g., population distribution modeling), multimodal systems (medical VQA, remote sensing captioning), and computational social science (political discourse analysis). His publications address challenges in geocoding, spatial disaggregation, and multilingual NLP.
Advising & Projects: Supervised over 50+ students across PhD, MSc, and postdoc levels. Key projects include the EU-funded DETECT (epidemiological surveillance), MATISSE (shellfish safety forecasting), and DigCH (historical Mexican documents analysis). Active in initiatives like GeoAI and Geospatial Humanities workshops.
Labs & Teams: Directs research at INESC-ID’s Human Language Technologies Lab and participates in the Lisbon ELLIS Unit. Collaborates with international teams on vision-language models, geospatial AI, and computational humanities.
