I support:

I am a Scientist at Yahoo! Inc., Santa Clara since December 2008. In 2006-2007 I was an Associate Researcher at the Computational Linguistic Department at the Saarland University (Germany). I received my PhD in Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" in May 2007 with a dissertation on "Recognizing Textual Entailment: Methods and Resources". I graduated in Computer Science Engineering in May 2003 with a thesis on Extraction and Classification of Verb Patterns.
I was proudly born in Bern (Switzerland) on April 1977, but I too quickly took my way to Zagarolo, a charming small town near Rome, immerse in the beautiful surroundings of the world famous Castelli Romani area, where I still live. Here, I made my classical studies at the Liceo Classico Claudio Eliano of Palestrina, where my love for philosophy and humanistic studies has melted day by day with a growing passion for computers and informatics.
In the meanwhile, my pets and the enchanting silence of the green hills made me think about what I could have done to conserve our beautiful planet: so for many years I have been a Greenpeace volunteer, and, despite all, my passion and devotion are still burning.
Running, snowboarding, playing the guitar with my friends and backpacking around the World make my life more and more busy and messed...
...maybe an Artificial Intelligence would help me in putting a little order...
