About me…

I am faculty at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in the Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y Sistemas (IIMAS). My research areas are natural language processing, computational linguistics and information retrieval; specifically applications, search for answers, semantic similarity, attribution of authorship and author profiling. During my Ph.D. I introduced text representation structures based on graphs to facilitate NLP tasks and a new method to calculate the semantic similarity between texts, called soft cosine similarity, which considers the semantic information of characteristics such as words, n-grams, POS tags, etc.

Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Helena Gómez Adorno is a professor of Artificial Intelligence at IIMAS-UNAM. Among her research interests areas are natural language processing, computational linguistics, and information retrieval; specifically, question answering, semantic similarity, authorship attribution, and author profiling. Lead a research and development team to implement intelligent systems with the help of machine learning and neural networks.

Projects

*
All Authorship Analysis

SIHSedesa: Hospital Information System - SEDESA

The aim of the project is to develop a hospital information system that includes a respiratory triage module, automatic data import module from health recodrs, identification of relevant terms from medical records, and visualization with dashboards.

PAPIIT TA100520: Authorship analysis on documents with deep learning techniques.

The aim of the project is to develop methods that allow the extraction of relevant feature from documents for authorship analysis, using deep neural architectures that allow to obtain lexical, syntactic, and semantic properties of texts.

CONACYT Project 298036: Feria de Talleres Mexicanas del Futuro: Trazando conciencias, pensando en TI Edición IIMAS UNAM.

The project aims at promoting the scientific-technological vocation among female students of UNAM’s highschool. For this, we invite the girls to study a science and technology career through conferences and workshops in a fun and interesting environment to show them that thinking that women and technology do not get along is an unfounded prejudice. We held a workshop fair at UNAM campus. Worshops and talks were given by professional women from the world of academy and industry, focused on the student population of the UNAM.

Spanish NewsCorpus: Multi-tagged corpus for authorship analysis in Spanish

The aim of the project is the compilation of news in Spanish from digital media sites and its categorization into three areas: variation of Spanish, author, and author’s gender. The collection was carried out semi-automatically with a web crawler developed for this purpose.
