About
Luiz received his Bachelor of Computer Science in 2000 from the
Pontifical Catholic University of Porto Alegre (PUCRS), Brazil.
In the same year, he joined the Hewlett Packard/PUCRS Research Centre
in High Performance Computing. In 2003, Luiz received a Master of Computer Science
from PUCRS for his thesis involving information retrieval (IR) and thesauri information.
During his Masters degree he also developed the Folha-RIcol corpus, which has been used
by different researchers to evaluate IR systems for the Brazilian Portuguese language.
In 2003, Luiz integrated his Masters research with the SINO search engine to enable
the online search of legal decisions made by the Portuguese Attorney General.
In 2008 at Macquarie University, Luiz submitted his PhD thesis which focused
on using language information in the IR stages of the question answering task.
Luiz has also produced over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.
