Anna Bavaresco

I am currently an ELLIS PhD student at the University of Amsterdam. I am supervised by Raquel Fernández and co-supervised by Marie-Francine Moens (KU Leuven). My research focuses on computational linguistics, vision-and-language interaction, and computational cognitive neuroscience.

ArXiv preprint

In this work, we investigate the alignment between brain fMRI responses to concepts and concept representations extracted from multiple vision-and-language, language-only, and vision-only models. Our results indicate that vision-and-language models might be better suited to capture the multimodal aspects of concept representations. I am very thankful to Marianne for everything I've learnt from her during this project and to Sandro and Raquel for their helpful supervision!

Publication on Neural Networks

In this work, we look at how pruning can be used to improve the alignment between DNN embeddings and human similarity judgments. I'm extremely grateful for being part of this project led by Homa Priya Tarigopula and supervised by Uri Hasson!
