Biography

Alan Ramponi is a researcher in computational linguistics and natural language processing at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, where he is part of the Digital Humanities group. His research focuses on language variation across many dimensions (e.g., non-standard varieties and dialects, domains, registers, social factors). He is interested in how NLP can contribute to the study of language variation, and how accounting for language variation can contribute to more robust, fair, and inclusive NLP.
