Academic Work

I'm an MSc. Student at UFRGS advised by prof Aline Villavicencio. During my bachelor's degree, I worked two years as an undergraduate researcher in statistical physics and simulations advised by prof Roberto da Silva and two years in the Neurocognition Research Lab under the guidance of prof Aline Villavicencio. My bachelor's dissertation was about detection of cognitive impairments through analysis of verbal fluency tests. This work resulted in the following extended abstract [ more to come :-) ]

Detecting clinical conditions with Distributional Semantic Models
Felipe Paula, Rodrigo Wilkens, Marco Idiart and Aline Villavicencio

In 2017, I was awarded the WiNLP travel grant to attend ACL and the BlackInAi travel grant to attend NIPS. More information about me and my work can be found in my CV.
