Research Interests

Massimo Poesio is Chair in Humanities Computing at the University of Trento and Director of the Language Interaction and Computation Lab at the Center for Mind / Brain Sciences. He has been involved in all aspects of research in anaphora resolution, including the study of agreement on anaphoric judgments; the creation of anaphorically annotated resources such as the GNOME and ARRAU corpora; and the development of state-of-the-art algorithms such as the Viera / Poesio algorithm (2000), and of anaphora resolution systems such as GUITAR, which have been applied to tasks such as summarization and information extraction. He coordinated the 2007 Johns Hopkins Workshop on Using Lexical and Encyclopedic Knowledge for Entity Disambiguation, that led to the development of the BART system.
