Manuela Speranza

I have been working at FBK (former ITC-irst) since 2000. Between 2000 and 2016 I worked on a number of projects, among which are SI-TAL (Integrated System for the Automatic Treatment of Language), Edamok, Ontotext, Qall-me, LiveMemories and the European projects Meta-Net, MateCat and NewsReader. More recently I have worked on the E3C project.

My main interests include evaluation methodologies (see NER 2007, Entity Recognition 2009, NER 2011, EVENTI 2014 and FactA 2016 at EVALITA and TimeLine: Cross-Document Event Ordering at SemEval-2015), entity annotation (see I-CAB), event, temporal information, and co-reference annotation (see the NewsReader MEANTIME corpus and the European Clinical Case Corpus), event factuality and negation annotation (see Fact-Ita Bank), and computational lexicography (see MultiWordNet and WordNet Domains).

I was also involved in the overall organization of EVALITA 2007, EVALITA 2009 and EVALITA 2011.
