Quantum computing is a serious threat to today’s cryptographic systems. A strong reason for the European Defence Fund (EDF) to invest in the development of quantum-resistant solutions for the defense sector. One of these initiatives is project SEQURED: Strengthening Defense…
A novel method developed by INESC-ID researchers is at the heart of a headline-making investigation into AI training practices. The technique — DE-COP: Detecting Copyrighted Content in Language Models Training Data— has been used in a recent study by the…
Few expressed pain and longing with the intensity of Amália Rodrigues, the iconic fado singer who became a symbol of Portuguese cultural identity. Her voice, her language, and her emotion are all part of a legacy that continues to shape…
Our institute made waves last week during the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) CHI 2025 conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, with several contributions presented. Patrícia Piedade, Artificial Intelligence for People and Society (AIPS) PhD student and Rui Prada,…
João F. Ferreira, INESC-ID researcher and professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) at Instituto Superior Técnico, and Nuno Saavedra, PhD student and INESC-ID researcher, have received the prestigious ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at the International Conference…
INESC-ID is one of 38 partners involved in a major European effort to build a sovereign computing infrastructure through the new project DARE SGA1 – Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe. Our contribution will be on the project’s software ecosystem,…
Two papers co-authored by INESC-ID researchers, professors, and students from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) at Instituto Superior Técnico were distinguished at EuroSys 2025, a leading European conference in computer systems, held in Rotterdam from March 30…
When Ricardo Rei started his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering, he already knew he wanted to work in AI. But it was the people who led the former INESC-ID researcher to pursue his master’s in dialogue systems and…
In an effort to reduce the time spent correcting errors in coding, Pedro Orvalho, who recently concluded his PhD thesis, at INESC-ID and Instituto Superior Técnico, and is now at the University of Oxford, has developed the artificial intelligence tool…
In Greek legend, Achilles was a hero with a single vulnerability—his heel. Similarly, the “Achilles’ heels” of modern AI systems are trust and efficiency. The recently launched ACHILLES Horizon Europe Project (“Human-Centred Machine Learning: Lighter, Clearer, Safer”) aims to address…
