Research

My research focuses on estimating personal values from text. In practice, I aim at combining human intuition and Natural Language Processing techniques to identify the abstract high-level motivations that lie behind individual statements. My work is part of the larger project to achieve high-quality online mass deliberation, creating AI-supported tools and environments aimed at transforming online conversations into more constructive and inclusive dialogues.
