Quando comecei a estudar programação na universidade, a primeira coisa que aprendi a fazer foi um programa que escrevia “Hello World!” na tela. Naquela época, a IA ainda era algo distante, limitada a filmes que estrelavam nos cinemas e pareciam ser apenas ficção científica. Quando cogitei fazer um mestrado na área, não havia cursos específicos…
This week, a debate has regained momentum following the most recent editions of the ENEM, Brazil’s national university entrance exam. After all, should smartphones be allowed in the classroom or not? Let me be clear: I’m not talking about the use of generative artificial intelligences, as in previous posts. I’m referring to a much broader…
Durante uma boa parte da minha vida eu sempre levei comigo algum material de desenho e até hoje, confesso que não me sinto realmente completa se não souber que tenho um caderninho e uma caneta de nankin à mão, mesmo tendo substituído os cadernos de estudos pelo tablet com caneta. O hábido de desenhar se…
Mila entered a few local shops in a rural town in Galicia, Spain, desperately asking for help. She fled each time someone called the police. Hours later, her body was found in a garbage container. A few days went by, and the news vanished. She was referred to merely as “a woman of Brazilian nationality.”…
If there’s one kind of Generative AI that appeals to me even more than those that create images from text prompts, it’s the ones that transform a sketch into defined, colored artwork. Personally, I wouldn’t use them to finalize one of my own pieces, but I’ve found these AIs incredibly useful for defining color composition…
O Processamento de Linguagem Natural (PLN) é uma área da inteligência artificial que se concentra na interação entre computadores e seres humanos por meio da linguagem natural. O objetivo do PLN é permitir que os computadores compreendam, interpretem e gerem linguagem humana de forma eficaz. A biblioteca NLTK para Python O Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)…
The past few weeks have been a bit chaotic, and I ended up not updating the website. My bad… But let’s move on. I’m back, and I’d like to talk about a topic that sparked a great discussion in one of my amateur drawing groups on Facebook. The thing is, I personally think realism is…
If you’ve ever applied for a job and received a rejection just minutes later — or worse, never heard back at all — there’s a good chance no one ever read your résumé.That decision was probably made by an algorithm. Yes, an automated software tool known as an ATS – Applicant Tracking System. What Are…
Part of my master’s dissertation in Digital Humanities deals directly with digital inclusion. To think about inclusion, we must first understand who is affected by digital exclusion. As I delve into this field of study, I’m guided by the light that so many authors have shed on structures we often prefer to ignore. And it…
In a world where projects are constantly changing, deadlines are tight, and teams are multidisciplinary, the need arose to work in a more flexible, collaborative, and value-centered way. It was from this context that the Agile Manifesto emerged: a very short text that revolutionized how we develop software—and later expanded into other fields, influencing far…
