Summary
Annalina Caputo is an Assistant Professor at Dublin City University with 11 years of experience bridging Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and personalised machine learning. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bari and completed a research visit at the Glasgow Information Retrieval Group, combining deep academic rigor with applied research in industry settings such as a Ryanair secondment during an MSCA EDGE fellowship. Her work focuses on text representation—spanning word sense disambiguation, entity linking, distributional semantics and embeddings—and she has translated many theoretical contributions into open-source proof-of-concept prototypes. A seasoned evaluation participant and organiser, she has contributed to CLEF, SemEval, WSDM Cup and EVALITA campaigns and co-led workshops on temporal dynamics in digital libraries. Annalina’s research uniquely emphasizes temporal-aware personalised retrieval, exploring how time-aware text representations improve intelligent access to evolving information.
