I am an associate professor in the Content-Centered Computing group at University of Turin.
Previously, I was a postdoc research fellow in the Wimmics team of INRIA, and before that a PhD candidate at Center for Language and Cognition Groningen, University of Groningen.
ATTENTION PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
- Are you interested in a PhD? Please do not email me about it. Instead, check this page for our yearly call: https://www.dottorato.unito.it/do/home.pl
Sorry, but I will not reply to direct emails about this because I receive too much spam, AI-written, generic emails about this topic.
- Are you interested in working with me for your Master’s or Bachelor’s thesis (Laurea Triennale/Laurea Magistrale)? I receive many requests but I try my best to accept the ones where I can help, depending on the topic. Feel free to email me but come with a clear and novel research idea and some preliminary literature review.
My research interests include:
- Perspectivist NLP
- Language Resources
- Natural Language Generation
- Hate Speech and abusive language
In my career, I dabbled in more related areas though:
