About me

I'm currently a Research Fellow at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain Belgique). I have a PhD in Computer Science, in the field of Natural Language Processing, obtained in 2016 from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). My interests include language profiling, cognitive computational models, computer-assisted language learning, knowledge extraction, question answering, information retrieval, knowledge representation, chatterbots, text classification, text simplification, word embedding, and user modeling; for English, Portuguese and French. During my career, I have worked in research groups at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Strasbourg (Unistra), University of Essex (UEssex), University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy), and Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain).
