Roberto got his BSc in Computer Science at the University of Rome La Sapienza, and then enrolled into the MSc in Cognitive Science at CIMeC, University of Trento. After an internship in Speech Translation at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, he joined the lab for his master thesis on computational models of language evolution in MARL (Multi-Agent-Reinforcement-Learning). He worked with us, and Marco Baroni and Diane Bouchacourt at Facebook.
As an AS Roma supporter in a lab led by a Juventino, Roberto had to leave at some point -- which he did brilliantly as he became a PhD student in Computational Linguistics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.
