 rch within the empowered teams.\n\nSpeaker: João Graça\n\nJoão Graça i
 s a co-founder and chief technology officer of Unbabel\, a company that re
 moves language barriers by blending artificial intelligence with real time
 \, human translations.\nPreviously\, he worked with INESC-ID developing re
 search in natural language processing (NLP) and went on to do his PostDoc 
 in NLP at the University of Pennsylvania. João developed a new statistica

 during learning\, unlocking previously impossible-to-tackle problems. He i

  (LxMLS).\n\n-----\n\nTALK #2: CI/CD transformation from legacy mainframe
