About me

Ciao! I'm Giovanni (or Jo for short).

I am a first-year PhD student at DH@FBK, with a strong interest in Machine Learning and other fields, especially Linguistics and Geography. I try to pursue my passions together, testing myself in Natural Language Processing and Geospatial Data Science.
