Hi, I'm Matteo Delsanto!

I'm Matteo Delsanto, a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Turin, where I also earned my PhD in Computer Science. My academic journey began with a bachelor's and master's degree, both awarded summa cum laude, and has since led me to specialize in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics.
My research focuses on lexical semantics, leveraging Transformers, word and sense embeddings, and Language Models in general, to analyze and process language. I work extensively in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Information Extraction, and Information Retrieval—exploring tasks such as word sense disambiguation, semantic similarity, and entity linking. Beyond theoretical advancements, I actively contribute to developing datasets and semantic resources for experimental research.
Much of my work bridges computational linguistics with real-world applications, particularly in medical and legal domains. I've collaborated on projects involving the analysis of psychiatric patient language, information extraction from emergency room records, and the processing of legal documents to enhance accessibility and comprehension. My research has led to publications in international conferences and journals, and in collaborations with other universities. Teaching is also part of my work: I've led contract courses in the master’s program in Language Technologies and Digital Humanities and regularly supervise beachelor and master’s theses.
