Giulia Rambelli
I am a Post-doc for the ABSTRACTION project. My research is at the intersection between theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, and machine learning. I investigate the meaning aspects of language, interested in the underlying mechanisms in sentence interpretation and productivity. In my thesis, I studied the balance between compositional and direct access to meaning, and how the cognitive process of analogy can be represented as a source of linguistic productivity from a theoretical and computational perspective. I published in ACL, AACL, LREC, COLING, TACL, and Cognitive Science.
I obtained a joint PhD degree in Linguistics from the University of Pisa (Italy) and Aix-Marseille University (France), under the joint supervision of Alessandro Lenci and Philippe Blache. I collaborate with the Computational Liguistics Laboratory (University of Pisa). I was a member of the Laboratoire Parole et Language (AMU) of the Institute of Language, Communication, and the Brain (ILCB).
I am part of the organizing committee of the international workshops Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (since 2024) and Analogy-angle (since 2025), colocated with leading conferences in NLP and AI (*CL, IJCAI).
