Short Bio
Viviane Moreira is an Associate Professor at the Institute of
Informatics-UFRGS in Brazil. She received her Ph.D. from Middlesex University
(UK – 2004) and her M.Sc. from INF-UFRGS (1999). In 2011, she spent a
sabbatical year at the University of Utah (USA). Her areas of interest are Data
Mining, Information Retrieval, and Databases. More specifically, her work has
focused on multilingual matching, sentiment analysis, author profiling,
plagiarism detection, and stemming algorithms. Viviane has advised over 20
graduate students and has coauthored over 55 peer-reviewed scientific papers.
She has also taken part in a number of research
projects both as coordinator and as participant. Viviane acts as program
committee member in national and international conferences and as reviewer for
research journals. She receives a productivity grant from CNPq-Brazil
(PQ level2).

Research Interests
|
Some topics of
interest in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, and
Information Retrieval are listed below together with the contributions made
on each topic and references to published papers. ·
Sentiment
Analysis
is being addressed by ongoing MSc projects. More specifically, they focus on
Multilingual Opinion Mining [1] and polarity detection [2, 16]. ·
Author
Profiling deals
with identifying the characteristics of an author just analyzing a text
written by him/her. A proposal of using features derived from Information
Retrieval is summarized in [6]. ·
Multilingual
Matching
deals with finding correspondences between data
items written in different natural languages. The contributions in this topic
include methods for finding missing cross-language links [8] and matching infoboxes across languages [9], both aimed at Wikipedia.
In addition, a focused crawler that collects topic-specific multilingual
texts from the Web [17] was also developed. ·
Cross-Language
Information Retrieval, in this topic, the contributions include
developing a novel method based on Association Rules [21] and an analysis of
Relevance Feedback [13]. ·
Plagiarism
Detection,
this is the topic recently completed PhD thesis in which the focus was on
comparing and combining distinct approaches to detect plagiarism [2]. ·
Stemming
Algorithms.
The long-lasting interest in this topic started in 2001 with the proposal of
a stemming algorithm for Portuguese [22] which is widely used by the
community and is available in numerous programming languages. Recently a
broad evaluation of stemmers for IR was carried out [3]. |
