Manoel Horta RibeiroI'm a first year PhD student at EPFL🇨🇭 working at dlab with Bob West. I'm also a member of iDrama🎭. My research focuses on the dynamics of content creation and consumption in Social Networks and Fringe Communities I received my B.S./M.S. in Computer Science from UFMG🇧🇷, where I worked with Wagner Meira Jr. and Virgílio Almeida.
The research I've been involved with has been published in venues such as: the Web Conference (WWW), the AAAI International Conf. on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM), the ACM Conf. on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT), and Nature Communications. Also, it has received substantial media attention, getting covered by WIRED, MIT Tech Review, NBC, and others.

Mission
My work focuses on developing robust methods for autoformalization and automated theorem proving using large language models. I aim to enhance the reasoning reliability of modern AI systems by reducing hallucinations, improving predictability, and integrating formal verification techniques and tools into LLM-based pipelines.
Before joining EDIC, I completed a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Computer Science

Current work
My research aims to model user behavior in real-world Web-scale systems: drawing insights about how users browse the Web, seek knowledge, influence others, and get influenced by others to name a few. Specifically, my focus is towards devising machine learning and data mining methods for real-world Web-scale data that manifests itself in the form of graphs or text.
