Biographical note
I am Assistant Professor working on natural language processing at Bocconi University. I have been awarded a €1.5m ERC Starting Grant project 2023 for research on personalized and subjective approaches to Natural Language Processing. My work focuses on ethics and Natural Language Processing, more specifically on abusive language detection.
About
I have recently been awarded a grant from Fondazione Cariplo for my project MONICA, which will focus on monitoring coverage, attitudes, and accessibility of Italian measures in response to COVID-19.
Research interests
My research interests mainly focus on Natural Language Processing, specifically on the detection and counter-acting of hate speech and algorithmic bias on Social Media data in multilingual context. I organized three international shared tasks on multilingual detection of hate speech.
