I spend my days trying to move things closer if they're similar, and further apart otherwise. Coincidentally, this aligns with ML/DL.
I'm an Assistant Professor in AI and Machine Learning at STMLab, Università degli Studi di Enna "Kore". My research focus:
- 📝 NLP
- 🔉 speech and audio processing
- 🖼️ multimodal learning.
I'm particularly interested in how machines can understand both general audio content and spoken language – things like new architectures for audio understanding, pathological voice analysis, and expressive speech modeling.
🚀 I actively collaborate on research in speech-based DL. If you're passionate about audio representation learning, spoken content analysis, or multilingual/multimodal learning, please don't hesitate to reach out.
For master's students: If you're curious about these areas, I have thesis proposals available and I'm happy to discuss about research-driven projects.
