Bio
I am a PhD candidate in Electronic & Computer Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and part of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (CAiRE).
I was born in Perugia, where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science at the University of Perugia. After that, I moved to Hong Kong, to study for my first Master Degree. Afterwards, I moved back to Italy where I obtained my second Master Degree in Computer Science at the University of Pisa. Currenly, I am back to Hong Kong for my PhD studies at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
My research interests are: Learning to Learn (a.k.a. meta-learning), End-to-End dialogue systems using Memory Augmented Neural Networks, and Multi-Task learning for word and sentence level embeddings.
I am a reviewer for ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, NAACL, Journal of Natural Language Engineering and Computer Speech and Languages.
