About

Hello, my name is Andrea Bacciu👋,
I am a PhD student in Natural Language Processing at the Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of the Professor Fabrizio Silvestri.
My path in the doctorate was possible thanks to the research grant offered to the winners in the National Artificial Intelligence Competition.

I recently graduated with honors in the master’s degree in computer science at the Sapienza University of Rome, presenting a research work on Cross-lingual Semantic Role Labeling, which was published and awarded with the Outstanding Long Paper at the NAACL 2021 conference.

My passions are mainly related to computer science, such as Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and the design of large-scale systems.
Afterward the PhD, I would like to be able to do a job that combines these interests.
Also, after a day spent fighting with bugs, I love doing Calisthenics, a discipline that I have been practicing for several years.
