I am graduated in Systems Development and Analysis since 2008 in the Catholic University of Pelotas (UCPel), Brazil. During my under graduation, I worked with research in recommender systems at the System Information Research Group (GPSI) using text mining to build user's profile to recommender systems. In 2009, I joined the Hewlett Packard/PUCRS Research Centre in Automating Privacy Assessments using Ontologies, in cooperation with the HP Labs from Princeton. In this project I worked with automatic thesaurus construction and ontologies on the privacy domain. Two years later I received the Master's degree in Computer Science from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) for a thesis involving automatic thesaurus construction. In 2011 at PUCRS, I started the PhD focusing the research on the discovery of the word meaning, using the thesaurus structure to get it. During the second year of PhD I did an internship at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK-irst) in Trento (Italy), where I worked with Cross-Lingual Distributional Similarity Models. Nowadays I am a research visitor and PhD student at Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) in Toulouse (France).
