Simone Filice

15967_4771898017440_1640858176_nI am a PhD candidate in Computer Engineering at the University of Roma, Tor Vergata, where I received my master degree in Computer Engineering in 2011.

My research interests mostly lie in developing Machine Learning models for Natural Language Processing.

Some of the activities I have been working on are:

  • Community Question Answering: selecting good comments to a given question in answer threads (such as forums or social networks scenarios)
  • Scalability of Kernel methods
  • Learning Relations between two short texts (Paraphrase Identification, Textual Entailment Recognition, Question Answering)
  • Tree Kernels and Graph Kernels for Natural Language Processing
  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Online Machine Learning

From November 2014 to July 2015 I was a visiting research associate at Qatar Computing Research Institute. My complete resume is available on LinkedIn: https://it.linkedin.com/pub/simone-filice/38/72/299
