Ludovica Cerini
I’m a PhD student at the Department of Philology, Literature, and Linguistics of the University of Pisa and a member of the CoLing Lab.
My research is focused on the Analysis of Conceptual Metaphors through Identification and Detection Computational Models. The project aims to investigate how conceptual metaphors are formed and standardized in language. Moreover, the goal is to understand which are the cognitive mechanisms that enable their recognition and motivate their use by humans and machines.
