Jorge Morato

I am currently a professor of Information Science in the Department of Computer Science at the University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain). I obtained my PhD in Library and Information Science (LIS) from the Universidad Carlos III in 1999 on the topic of Knowledge Information Systems and their relationship with linguistics. Between 1991 and 1999 I had grants and contracts from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish National Research Council). My current research activity is focused on text mining, linguistic text analysis, information extraction and pattern recognition, NLP, information retrieval, Web positioning, and Knowledge Organization Systems. I have published mainly on semi-automatic construction of thesauri and ontologies, AI and chatbots, linguistic analysis and contextualized semantic document retrieval. My latest projects deal with Plain Language, SEO, as well as Semantic Interoperability and Semantic Metadata Searching (SEMSE) and LIS training in Dominican Republic. I have worked as a scientific evaluator for international programs in areas such as the evaluation of research projects or theses for the European Union, India or Mexico. I have also carried out reports as an expert in subjects such as SEO. I have been the principal investigator of several research projects in the last 20 years. I have taught courses on Information Retrieval, Search Engine Optimization, Software Engineering and Knowledge Organization, clear language and accessibility, and Information Management Systems. Some of them are published in the OpenCourseWare project: - Information Access and Retrieval - Advanced Information Retrieval Systems - Information Engineering;
