1st place – “Parliament Archives”

The winner of the prize worth 10,000 euros was the work “Parliament Archives” developed by Tiago Santos.

“Parliament Archive” is a web application that aggregates news and opinion articles extracted from the Arquivo.pt based on open data from Parlamento.pt.

For example, a user can search for a political figure and obtain speeches, news and other publications that Arquivo.pt has preserved.

2nd place – “Automatic classification of articles stigmatizing mental illnesses”

The 2nd prize worth 3,000 euros was awarded to the work “Automatic classification of articles stigmatizing mental illnesses”, by Alina Yanchuk, Alina Trifan, Olga Fajarda and José Luís Oliveira.

This work developed a methodology for the automatic classification of stigmatizing articles on mental illness, present in Portuguese online news newspapers, through Artificial Intelligence.

For example, a news story that uses the term schizophrenia in conjunction with a story about political life is classified as stigmatizing. Using automated processes, this work allows us to identify thousands of news stories and draw the media's and society's attention to the stigmatization of mental illness.

3rd place – “Public Archives”
