About Me

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo. For the most part, my research has focused on the computational aspects of discrete probabilistic graphical models (e.g., Bayesian networks, credal networks, sum-product networks) and their use in classification, robust inference and planning under uncertainty. More recently, I became very enthusiastic about probabilistic logic programming and its connection to deep learning. My group is currently building a neuro-symbolic reasoner supported by such techniques.

I am an Area Editor of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, an editorial board member of the Artificial Intelligence Journal, and Senior Associate Editor of the new ACM Transactions on Probabilistic Machine Learning Journal. I serve regularly in the Program Committee of top AI conferences (AAAI, IJCAI, UAI, etc).
