ARTIS : Revolutionizing Education for SEND Children: The Power of AI in Reading Comprehension (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

Sony Computer Science Labs, Paris, France

01/09/2022 - 28/02/2023

The macro-area of research in which my work fits is that of Artificial Intelligence applied in the therapeutic and educational fields. This project aims to develop an automatic text simplification model, to be integrated into an existing interface, to help and support school-age individuals and young adults with reading problems in the text comprehension process. The ultimate goal is to support and back up the speech therapists' rehabilitation team during the therapy period.

Brains at Work

SISSA, Trieste, Italy

03/2019 - 03/2020

Brains@work is a citizen science project resulted from the collaboration between SISSA, Sissa Medialab and a research group in neuroscience, headed by Davide Crepaldi (Language, Learning and Reading Lab). It involves children aged six to eleven in behavioral experiments. The main topics of the experiments are reading, learning, language, and olfaction. I personally tested children on computational experiments, scored their performances on different tasks, and performed statistical analysis of their results.
