Julio Gonzalo is full professor at UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, Spain), where he leads the Research Group in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval (nlp.uned.es). His current research interests include Evaluation Metrics and Methodologies, Semantic Textual Similarity, Online Reputation Monitoring and Information Access Technologies for Social Media. He has co-chaired evaluation activities such as IberLEF (for Natural Language Processing technologies dealing with Spanish and other languages) RepLab (for Reputation Monitoring tasks), WePS (Web People Search) and iCLEF (interactive Cross-Language search and Question Answering). In this context, his research made a special emphasis on the formal assessment of evaluation metrics, which led to a Google Faculty Research Award (with Stefano Mizzaro and Enrique Amigó) in 2012. He has recently been appointed as general co-chair for the ACM SIGIR 2022 Conference. His publications cover many topics at the intersection of IR and NLP, and can be found at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=opFCmpYAAAAJ.
