Hi, I'm Luca.
PhD Researcher in Computer Data Science
Researcher at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. I work on Knowledge Graphs, Large Language Models, and Natural Language Processing. I am involved in the European WASABI project, focused on Digital Intelligent Assistance and human-AI collaboration in manufacturing.
Research Areas
Main topics I work on during my PhD and research projects.
Large Language Models
Research and development of LLMs for relation extraction and Knowledge Graph enrichment. Focus on constrained inference and distant supervision.
Knowledge Graph
Designing systems for the automated construction and validation of knowledge graphs from unannotated textual corpora.
Conversational AI
Evaluation and optimization of RASA-based conversational assistants within the European WASABI project.
Graph Analytics
Analysis of complex networks to identify opinion leaders, social dynamics, and emerging structures in interaction graphs.
Relation Extraction
Pipelines for automatic extraction of semantic relations from text, using Distant Supervision and Contrastive Learning.
Applied NLP
Integration of NLP techniques in enterprise and industrial contexts, including information retrieval systems.
WASABI and recent publications
WASABI
Horizon Europe project developing Digital Intelligent Assistance solutions and human-AI collaboration technologies for manufacturing, with a focus on sustainability, process quality, workforce onboarding, and support for European SMEs and mid-caps.
