Edoardo Barba
Hey there, I am Edoardo, a full-time researcher (RTDA) in the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering (DIAG) at the Sapienza University of Rome.
I work with the Sapienza NLP group led by professor Roberto Navigli, and I am interested in Lexical Semantics tasks such as Entity Linking and Word Sense Disambiguation, but I am also recently working on applications of descrptive modeling to Language Modeling, Semantic Role Labeling, and Machine Translation.
I am the proud co-founder of Litus AI, a startup on Natural Language Processing and Speech Processing based in Rome!
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome in 2023, with a thesis on “Descriptive Modeling: Capturing Semantics in Neural Models via Natural Language Descriptions”.
I love to play padel and videogames, and I am huge fan of World of Warcraft.
