Amauri Holanda de Souza Júnior

I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Federal Institute of Ceara (IFCE). Previously, I was a postdoc at Cornell University (USA) under Kilian Weinberger and at Aalto University (Finland) under Vikas Garg and Samuel Kaski. Over the past years, I have been interested in advancing machine learning to deal with structured data (e.g., graphs and sequences) appearing in several application domains, such as recommender systems, computational social science, computational finance, and drug discovery. My research is primarily methodological and covers a wide range of topics, including topological geometric deep learning, explainable AI, temporal graph learning, simulation-based inference, generative modeling (GFlowNets), and graph neural networks. My recent works have been published in some of the most prestigious venues in machine learning (e.g., ICML, AISTATS, NeurIPS, and JMLR).
