I've been a researcher in computer science since my last year of the undergraduation course. I participated on projects in different fields, including Distance Learning, Virtual Reality, High Performance Computing at the CPAD - PUCRS/Hewlett-Packard Research Lab, Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval.

Nowdays, my research interests cover two broad areas: Computational Linguistics and Information Retrieval. My PhD research focuses in finding an optimal method to perform the mining of documents for the answer extraction component of question answering systems.

In the following pages you can find some extra information about my research:

• My publication list
• A Question Answering and Information Retrieval Repository
• A Demostration of the TellMe QA System

Do you have no clue what I'm saying? So I'll explain as I normally do when asked about my research:
- It's like google, but better!
