🔎 About me
I am currently a research assistant doing a Ph.D. at the University of Potsdam, Germany, as a member of Prof. David
Schlangen's Computational Linguistics Lab (colabPotsdam).
My current research interests are common grounding and multimodal dialogue, incremental processing, and understanding the limits of current neural network models to process dialogue. I'm also very interested in Ethics in NLP. I got my M.Sc. degree in Language Science and Technology
in the University of Saarland, Germany. My master thesis was a project in the scope of the
SFB1102 Project A3
with Prof. Alexander Koller. I applied semi-supervised learning methods to extract
script knowledge from texts. Before that, I received my B.Sc. in Applied and Computational Mathematics
at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics
of the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
