Rocío Jiménez-Briones is Permanent Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at UAM, where she works since 1996. In 1993 she graduated in English Philology at UAM and obtained an exchange scholarship to do her M.A. in Linguistic Studies at Syracuse University (USA) from 1993 to 1995. She also taught there two courses in English Linguistics as Teaching Assistant. In 2004 she was awarded her Ph.D. from the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED, Spain), earning the UNED Distinguished Ph.D. Dissertation Award in 2005. In the summer of 2006 she was Visiting Scholar at NYU (New York, USA).
Rocío Jiménez-Briones is particularly interested in the relationship between syntax and semantics, in both functional and constructional approaches to language. She has lately focused on the field of natural language processing and its relation with theoretical linguistics, contributing to the design and implementation of FunGramKB (www.fungramkb.com), and of DIAPASON (http://allegro.ucam.edu/
English language: grammar and lexis.

Summary:
Social-media tools have become a global phenomenon of communication, where users post content in the form of text, images, video, audio or a combination of them to convey their opinions, report facts that are happening at that time or show situations of interest. A current line of research related to these tools consists in crowdsensing, i.e. the analysis and interpretation of the huge amount of information that is daily posted in these tools. Within this context, this project proposes the development of ALLEGRO (Adaptive muLti-domain sociaL-media sEnsinG fRamewOrk), a smart multi-modal system (i.e. text, audio, and image) for the analysis and fusion of information posted on social networks. This system is comprised of different interconnected analysis modules, where efficient machine-learning techniques will be applied to both the extraction of the most significant features and the increase of contextual information from posts. With the purpose of evaluating the ALLEGRO architecture, we aim to implement a social-sensing prototype for the smart-city framework. In this regard, we take an integral approach to the concept of "smart city", where we focus not only on detecting problems related to the quality of the infrastructure and services provided to citizens (e.g. healthcare, lighting, and transportation, among others) but also on analysing the sociological dimension of the city, which is reflected through people's concerns (e.g. racial conflicts, unemployment, and violence, just to name a few). Therefore, we aim to develop a “Social-Sensing as-a-service” system that could deal with issues that do not contribute to improving well-being and quality of life.
