PhD in Linguistics at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil), with emphasis on Language Acquisition and Computational Linguistics. My research focuses on language acquisition matters, using theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches. Currently I'm a candidate to certification by the Center for Nonviolent Communication (USA). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Two tasks essential to lexical acquisition are the object of the present research proposal: the mapping of words to senses and the categorization of words. In order to accomplish the first task, one of the main challenges the child faces is the "gavagai problem", that is, the referential uncertainty or underdetermination of utterances which makes it difficult to bind them consistently to …
In the context of language acquisition, the potential of distributional information in the learning of syntactic categories for Brazilian Portuguese (BP) words has been studied using computational modeling (Faria e Ohashi, 2019; Faria, 2019) in which experiments are conducted using a child-directed speech corpus compiled from the Collection "Oral Language Acquisition Project" (CEDAE/UNICA…
This research project has as its main goal the study, application, and further development, of computational methods for automatic detection and correction of errors and inconsistencies in syntactic annotated corpora (treebanks) such as the method proposed by Kato & Matsubara (2010), which is based on Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar (Shieber & Schabes, 1990). Tied to the research pr…

This research project has as its main goal the study and application of Tree Adjoining Grammar (Joshi & Schabes, 1991) based formalisms to the problem of inconsistency detection in syntactically annotated corpora. The goal is to move from what I call a "naive approach" - where a poor or even no theoretical interpretation of the annotation is carried out - to an informed "theoretical appro…
