  • about_me

    I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Dipartimento di Filologia Letteratura e Linguistica of the University of Pisa and a member of the Computational Liguistics Laboratory.


    Short Bio

    I graduated at the University of Pisa, where I got my bachelor in Informatica Umanistica (2009) with a thesis about automatic classification of event names in Italian and my master degree (2012) in Business Informatics with a thesis focused on the Business Intelligence process, from ETL until the data analysis.


    Before starting my doctoral studies in Ingegneria dell'Informazione, I spent two years working in a private company in the field of Business Intelligence.


    I got my PhD in 2017 with a dissertation entitled “Distributional Models of Emotions for Sentiment Analysis and Social Media”.

    Currently, I am expert on the subject (Cultore della Materia) for the course of Computational Linguistics at University of Pisa and the scientific coordinator of the SEM project.


    Research

    My research is mainly focused on:

    • - Multimodality
    • - Distributional Semantics
    • - Information Extraction
    • - Emotion Detection and Sentiment Analysis
    • - Opinion Mining
    • - Business and Competitive Intelligence

        • Other domains I'm interested in include Text Mining tasks like Information Retrieval and Entity Extraction.

    Current Projects

    MUSE - MUltimodal Semantic Extraction

    Project funded by Regione Toscana POR FSE 2014-2020 Asse A . The goal of the project is the semantic multimodal analysis of both texts and images by exploiting Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision techniques. The project is in collaboration with the Company BNova s.r.l.

    SEM Il Chattadino

    Project funded by Regione Toscana POR CreO Fesr 2014-2020. The goal of the project is the creation of a ChatBot able to provide information about the Public Administration domain. The project brings together the CoLing Lab and the companies ETI 3 s.r.l., BNova s.r.l. and Rigel Engineering s.r.l.

    Event Extraction for Fake News Detection

    PThe project is focused on the development of a system for fake news detection by means of a graph-based representation of news events and actors. The project is in collaboration with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab of the Massachussets Institute of Technology (CSAIL-MIT)
