Prof. Jaime Cardoso

Jaime S. Cardoso holds a Licenciatura (5-year degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1999, an MSc in Mathematical Engineering in 2005 and a Ph.D. in Computer Vision in 2006, all from the University of Porto. Cardoso is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and Coordinator of the Centre for Telecommunications and Multimedia of INESC TEC. From 2012 to 2015, Cardoso served as President of the Portuguese Association for Pattern Recognition (APRP), affiliated in the IAPR. Cardoso is also a Senior Member of IEEE since 2011. Cardoso serves regularly as project evaluator for the European Commission. His research can be summed up in three major topics: computer vision, machine learning and decision support systems. Image and video processing focuses on medicine and biometrics. The work on machine learning cares mostly with the adaptation of learning to the challenging conditions presented by visual data, with a focus on deep learning and explainable machine learning. The particular emphasis of the work in decision support systems goes to medical applications, always anchored on the automatic analysis of visual data. Cardoso has co-authored 300+ papers, 90+ of which in international journals, which attracted 5100+ citations, according to google scholar.
