Hello! My name is Luca Soldaini and I am applied scientist at Amazon in the Alexa AI division. I am currently working on several supervised ranking problems in Alexa's natural language understanding pipeline.
I recently completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Georgetown University; my dissertation work was concerned with improving access to medical information by bridging the knowledge gap between health information seekers and medical content. I am also a member of the Information Retrieval Lab. My pronouns are he/him/his.
