Por Luís Gomes.
Abstract: In this presentation I will talk about my ongoing work on neural model compression, a topic that attracted my interest recently, and as a way of my presentation to DI/FCUL, given this is my first talk since my joining the department, I will touch also on some past results, including machine translation and semantic alignment of multilingual texts, which was a major subject I have been working.
