Curriculum Vitae

Helena Moniz

Helena Moniz is the President of the European Association for Machine Translation and the President of the International Association for Machine Translation. She is also the Vice-coordinator of the Human Language Technologies Lab at INESC-ID. She is the Chair of the Ethics Committee of the Center for Responsible AI. Helena is an Assistant Professor at the School of Arts and Humanities at the University of Lisbon, where she teaches Computational Linguistics, Computer Assisted Translation, and Machine Translation Systems and Post-editing. She graduated in Modern Languages and Literature at School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon (FLUL), in 1998. She took a Teacher Training graduation course in 2000, also at FLUL. She received a Master's degree in Linguistics at FLUL, in 2007, awarded the best thesis from the Portuguese Association for Linguistics, and a PhD in Linguistics at FLUL in cooperation with the Technical University of Lisbon (IST), in 2013. She received two grants from FCT, PhD and Post-doctoral, both ranked first in the are panel. She has been working at INESC-ID/CLUL since 2000, in several national and international projects involving multidisciplinary teams of linguists and speech processing engineers. Within these fruitful collaborations, she participated in more than 20 national and international projects. From 2015/09 to 2024/04, she was the PI of a bilateral project with INESC-ID/Unbabel, a translation company combining AI + post-editing, working on scalable Linguistic Quality Assurance processes for crowdsourcing. She was responsible for the implementation on 2015 of the MQM metric, the creation of the Linguistic Quality Assurance processes developed at Unbabel for Linguistic Annotation and Editors' Evaluation. She also worked on research projects, involving Linguistics, Translation, and Responsible AI, and products developed by the Labs Team, mostly cultural transcreation, high risk, and silently controlled language metrics for dialogues. Since 2024/08 - 2025/07, she is the PI of the Bridge AI project (BridgeAI: Boosting Regulatory Implementation with Data-driven insights, Global expertise, and Ethics for AI), a project developed under the Science4Policy 2023 (S4P-23): annual science for policy project call, an initiative by PlanAPP - Competence Centre for Planning, Policy and Foresight in Public Administration in partnership with the Foundation for Science and Technology, financed by Portugal ´s Recovery and Resilience Plan.
