Also known as Clarisse Simões Ribeiro

Clarisse Simoes Ribeiro is an AI engineer whose work spans dialogue systems, small language models, and hallucination reduction. She earned an electrical-engineering degree and worked as a Lead Software Engineer in Brazil before pursuing machine-learning study through a Microsoft scholarship. She built an Azure AutoML project, hosted a Microsoft Reactor skills panel in March 2022, and contributed to Microsoft Research’s GODEL dialogue model in June 2022. In November 2023, she was a Software Engineer II at Microsoft Research and coauthored Orca 2; in 2024, she coauthored an ICLR paper on teaching language models to hallucinate less with synthetic tasks.
