Welcome to my website! 👋 I am a PhD student at the Computational Linguistics Group of the University of Groningen and member of the InDeep consortium, working on user-centric interpretability for neural machine translation. I am also the main developer of the Inseq library. My supervisors are Arianna Bisazza, Malvina Nissim and Grzegorz Chrupała.
Previously, I was a research intern at Amazon Translate, a research scientist at Aindo, a student in the Data Science MSc at the University of Trieste and a co-founder of the AI Student Society. My master’s thesis with the ItaliaNLP Lab discussed the study of linguistic complexity using gaze recordings and neural language models.
My research currently focuses on interpretability for NLP models, in particular to the benefit of end-users and by leveraging human behavioral signals. I am also passionate about social applications of machine learning, causality topics, and open source collaboration.
