Invited to present my work at top IJCAI 2017 and 2020 conferences (journal track). Currently my research is focused on semantic processing, information extraction, opinion mining and disinformation detection, topics on which I have published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers at the main journals (Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge-Based Systems…) and conferences (ACL, IJCAI…) on Natural Language Processing. I am now interested in addressing those topics by generation approaches.
