Hearst Television is a broadcasting company in the United States that currently owns a total of 33 overall television stations. In terms of audience reach, Hearst is the third-largest group owner of ABC-affiliated stations and the second-largest group owner of NBC affiliates. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearst_Television, Feb/2017) At Hearst TV I took the challenge of helping the digital division to weaponize tons of data, leveraging the recent advance in deep neural nets. From final users recommending systems to editorial workflow automation, we're applying state-of-art in NLP, transfer-learning, audio classification/tagging, video analysis and all sorts of custom neural net designs (CNNs, RNNs, Attention-based, Etc) to meet Hearst long-term vision. This is an amazing company and I'm very excited to have the privilege to work with so many skilled and motivated professionals.

Current Project: Student’s dropout prediction for the Brazilian Federal Institute of Education, Science and TechnologyAt QUALIDATA I worked as a Software Architect and Technical Leader for an ERP software development nowadays used for 200 Brazilian Federal Education Institutions, having about 500.000 active students. Having a solid background in algorithms and great affinity to data science field, I moved to the Data Scientist position in order to build predictive models for the company’s main product.Main Activities:• Create an OpenData database schema.• Export data from database to CSV files• Prepare the data for Machine Learning (ML algorithms behave badly if the individual features do not more or less look like standard normally distributed data: Gaussian with zero mean and unit variance)• Exploratory Analyses using descriptive statistics and graphical analysis• Use K-fold cross validation technique to evaluate the performance of many algorithms and choose the most promising ones.• Tune the algorithms in order to improve results• Explore ensemble techniques like Ada Boost Classifier and Gradient Boosted Trees
