✈️ Heading to Düsseldorf for the 2nd #CxGsNLP Workshop at #IWCS2025! I’ll present a non-archival paper from #ACL2024 + some follow-ups on how LLMs interpret existing and novel compounds. Excited for the discussions and meeting the vibrant community! On a mission for @abstractionerc.bsky.social

Just gave my talk “How Analogy Drives Language Comprehension: The Case of Novel Compounds Interpretation” 🤔🥑🤖 Explored how L1, L2 speakers & LLMs interpret brand-new compounds- L2+LLMs leaning on compositionality, L1 speakers often rely on analogy. Presented at the #Analogy workshop, #SLE2025 ✨

Starting now the workshop on Towards a better understanding of #analogy at #SLE2025 !

Excited to be at #SLE2025 this week! Presented 🗣️ two studies: 🔹 Iconicity ratings for Italian language across L1 & L2 speakers 🔹 Ambiguity of generality in a fantastic workshop on "Lexical Ambiguity in the Mind" Appreciated the feedback & discussions!

Abstraction and generalization are 🔥 topics in any linguistic and NLP conference.. and @abstractionerc.bsky.social team is always there to capture the moment! #SLE2025

Now attending the PLENARY SESSION at #SLE2025 in Bordeaux 🇫🇷 @dagmardivjak.bsky.social & @petarmilin.bsky.social: Top-down wisdom versus bottom-up noise: can data (ever) replace linguistic expertise? Excited to hear their insights! #linguistics #conference

Here we are at #SLE2025 in Bordeaux! @tomlamarra.bsky.social

I will end my postdoc with my first #EMNLP paper! So honored to work with such amazing researchers (and people!)

✈️ Off to Bordeaux for #SLE2025! On Friday I’ll present “How Analogy Drives Language Comprehension: The Case of Novel Compounds Interpretation” (a study on humans and LLMs) at the workshop Towards a better understanding of #analogy. Excited for talks, discussions & some Bordeaux-buzz 🍷

🌟 Had a great time presenting our poster at #ACL2025! It was a great experience sharing our work with researchers interested in conceptual categories, #abstraction and #generalization, thanks for the insightful discussions and feedback! wt @andreapdr.bsky.social @mariannabolog.bsky.social #NLProc

Let's this #ACL2025 begin! Now speaking the general chair @robertonavigli.bsky.social @aclmeeting.bsky.social

Excited to be attending #ACL2025 in Vienna next week!🇦🇹 📍 Catch me at: 🧠 Mon, July 28 @11 – Poster on how humans & LLMs organize concepts → lnkd.in/eE-BaKYC 🔍 Fri, Aug 1 – Workshop on analogical abstraction → analogy-angle.github.io ☕ At any coffee line 😉 Feel free to reach out! #AI #NLP #LLM

Just nostalgic-here I was a 1year PhD student @ my 1st ACL. Next week I'll attend #ACL2025 as a postdoc wt a paper in the main conf!🎉 It was a long and not easy way, many things changed, and many will be in the next months as I'm finishing my postdoc. See u all in Vienna!🇦🇹

📣 Vi aspetto oggi per il secondo incontro del ciclo “IA per umani(sti)”! 🎯 Cercheremo di capire insieme cosa sono le GenAI , come funzionano, quali sono i benefici che possiamo ricavare e i limiti da tenere presenti. 🗓️ Oggi alle 17:30 (CET), online Non mancate!

Happy to share knowledge and meet brilliant minds!

Nice poster to discuss fascinating topics! Here is a preview of my poster at the @medallinguist.bsky.social summer school in Computational Modeling (University of Birmingham). Interested in the same topics? Get in touch! @abstractionerc.bsky.social

📣 Excited to be in Birmingham for the @medallinguist.bsky.social Summer School in Computational Modelling! 👩‍🎓 I’ll present a poster "Generalizing by Analogy: The Key to Linguistic Creativity", as part of my work in the @abstractionerc.bsky.social project. Looking forward to insightful discussions!

✈️ My almost 3 years at @abstractionerc.bsky.social in a nutshell! I have to thank @mariannabolog.bsky.social for her incredible support and guide, as her mentorship has made a significant impact on my professional AND personal growth.. and ofc thanks for making me travel around the globe!
