Experience

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Bologna

Develop a transparent AI system that (i) processes legal documents (e.g., tax audit acts) to extract judicial principles of law; (ii) integrates domain-specific contextual knowledge, such as EU legal principles traceable back to the processed documents; (iii) produce a human-comprehensible explanation on the extraction process that is grounded on the integrated knowledge.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Bologna

Developing LLM-based solutions for industrial use cases that speed up existing user assistance systems while guaranteeing privacy.

Visiting Researcher

Alan Turing Institute

Worked on two research papers on rumour verification and LLMs reasoning.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Bologna

Developed horizontal matchmaking solutions for ranking textual sources. These solutions should be compliant with AI-on-demand online services. Critical requirements concern textual sources maintenance.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Bologna

Developed NLP solutions for large-scale heterogeneous document matching. In particular, I’ve researched strategies for combining unstructured knowledge (e.g., textual documents, researcher profiles, user requests) and ontology knowledge graphs.

External Research Collaborator

University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

Developed a ranking system for scientific literature based on Argument Mining features.

Research Intern

Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab

Developed of AI dialogue argumentative chatbots on scientific literature. We investigated the impact of arguments in scientific papers to boost the capabilities of a dialogue agent.

Research Scholarship
