I, Margarita Bugueño, started my studies in 2013 pursuing a major in Informatics Engineering at Federico Santa María Technical University (UTFSM). I have found a deep enjoyment in learning programming and data analysis, excelling in courses related to computer science such as Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Networks, and Pattern Recognition. This prompted me to work as a teaching assistant in such subjects. Later, in 2017 and 2018, I joined YoC+, teaching programming in C++ language to college students, which motivated my application as an associated researcher at Chilean Virtual Observatory (ChiVO) carried out by UTFSM with the collaboration of the University of Chile and Huawei company. My Master's studies at UTFSM involved a thesis on text generation (as a data augmentation technique) for unbalanced text classification problems using state-of-the-art modules, Transformer and Self-Attention. In turn, the master's led me to work as a lecturer in the Informatics Department at UTFSM as well as an assistant researcher in the Millennium Institute for Foundational Research on Data (IMFD) in the Explainable Artificial Intelligence project facing several problems of interest such as fake news detection, harassment detection, analysis of controversy and others.
