Hi there! I'm Belén; I'm interested in a few different things (you'll find out as you see my projects). I'm a 2nd year PhD student at MIT. I'm focusing my research on children-proof machine learning and natural language processing more specifically.

Intelligence Never Seeks Perfection, Instead Requires Effort
INSPIRE is a program in partnership with a local middle school that seeks to expose students to stories of triumph and hope that they find personally meaningful. A key part of the program is a mobile application that delivers short video stories. Stories are delivered through a virtual coach ("Jo Jo"). Jo Jo recommends videos and prompts students to reflect.
