Research Interests

My area of research resides within the domain of Artificial Intelligence - particularly with reference to the topics of Pattern Recognition, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Social Network Analysis (SNA). At the moment, open research problems of interest to me include Trends and Pattern Analysis, Sentiment Mining and Opinion Mining, Machine Translation, Event-based Analysis, Multi-layer Network Analysis, Explainable AI, Responsible AI, and related problems. Basically, my research approach aims at devising effective Machine Learning (ML) and efficient Deep Learning (DL) methodologies, toward the exploitation of Big Data for latent knowledge, in respect to resolving a range of open (research) problems and real-world problems.
