My research fields are Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP). I am particularly interested in Computational Semantics studying (i) the ways semantic and cognitive information can be used to improve the performance of text generation tasks; (ii) the construction of systems that provide an understanding of a written text and of the events described in it; (iii) the capture of meaning beyond what is explicitly written in the text.
I am also very interested in Computational Psycholinguistics, using NLP methods in order to model Child Language Acquisition.
