Giacomo Frisoni

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Bologna, Italy. My research interests lie in Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, and Graph Neural Networks, particularly for clinical and biomedical applications.

I have co-authored over 30 papers in prestigious conferences and journals—including ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, and AAAI—receiving best paper and reviewer awards. I actively contribute to the research community in various scientific roles, including editorial board member, program committee member, area chair, and workshop organizer for many international venues. I have collaborated with esteemed academic and industrial institutions, including the University of Glasgow, IBM Research Europe, EURECOM, and the University of Edinburgh.

I am a member of UniboNLP, the NLP research group of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering coordinated by Prof. Gianluca Moro. You can find our open models and datasets on Hugging Face. I currently work on the DARE project, advancing representational and generative AI for health.

I serve as an adjunct professor and tutor for multiple AI courses at the University of Bologna, and I have co-supervised over 55 Bachelor’s and Master’s theses on NLP and deep learning.
