Thiago Marques is a Senior Data Scientist with 11 years of experience building production ML and NLP solutions, currently developing GenAI conversational agents and RAG pipelines at Stone. He combines academic depth—a M.Sc. in Computer Science focused on deep learning for duplicate bug detection—with hands-on engineering across LLMs, speech models, vector DBs and scalable infra (FastAPI, Docker, Spark, GCP/AWS). At Instituto de Pesquisas Eldorado he led novel multi-modal systems (STT/TTS, XML PAI generation, advanced RAG and LLM agents) and automated SKU grouping via textual similarity, demonstrating a knack for turning research ideas into MVPs. Past roles span anomaly detection, recommendation and routing optimization work for enterprise clients, and earlier full-stack/Android engineering that informs his product-aware approach. He is based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, and is comfortable bridging research, applied ML and deployment—often combining open-source models and engineering pragmatism to deliver business impact.
SiameseQAT, a duplicate bug report detection method that considers not only information on individual bugs, but also collective information from bug clusters. SiameseQAT combines attention mechanisms, which were not previously used in this task, with a novel loss function called Quintet Loss, that considers the centroid of duplicate bug report representation clusters andtheir contextual information.
