People who collaborate with us
Friends of aequa-tech
We sponsor a series of fellowships called “friends of aequa-tech” intending to support researchers (PhD students, postdocs, etc…) during a one-shot collaboration with us. The collaboration is held at any given time, is mostly conducted through online interactions, and stems from a mutual research interest and from the researcher’s enthusiasm towards a given topic. Currently, the friends of aequa-tech are:
Silvia Casola
PhD in Natural Language Processing
Silvia’s work focuses on Natural Language Generation and summarization in particular, bringing the experience from her PhD studies.
Marta Marchiori Manerba
PhD Student in AI for Society
Marta’s research focus is on experimenting with explainability and fairness lenses to evaluate NLP applications.
Soda Marem Lo
PhD Student in Computer Science
Marem explores the correlation between human label variation when annotating a highly subjective phenomenon of the language, and annotators’ moral values.
Alberto Piraccini
Project Manager
PM with a proven track record in delivering successful software projects. Skilled in process optimization, project management and web development.
