Top SchoolCristina Muntean is a Senior Researcher at CNR-ISTI with over 11 years of experience applying information retrieval, learning-to-rank and deep learning to real-world problems such as conversational search, tourist recommender systems and social media analytics. She progressed through roles from postdoc to senior researcher within the same institute, contributing to multiple European and regional projects and serving on Europeana’s Data Quality Committee.
