Alessio Cocchieri

PhD Researcher in NLP · UniboNLP · University of Bologna

I am a last-year PhD student in Natural Language Processing at UniboNLP, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna. I hold a BSc and MSc in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, both with honors, from the University of Bologna.

I specialize in LLM evaluation and knowledge distillation for low-resource NLP, with applications to high-stakes domains like medicine. I have 9+ publications at ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, and EACL, and completed two research internships at IBM Research (Dublin). I am an active reviewer for ARR and top-tier ML conferences like NeurIPS.
