How did your international mobility project start?
Before my departure for Trento, I had already collaborated with the hosting laboratory, Language and Dialogue Technologies (LanD), particularly with the team leader and one of his students. Therefore, the project developed through the DocWalker was already in progress. The mobility helped ease communication among the members involved and speed up results. By the end of the DocWalker, we managed to conclude the project by writing and submitting an article to one of the most relevant conferences in NLP internationally, being the paper now under revision. In parallel, we also started a second project with the hosting laboratory, which is under development after the DocWalker. Both works are on Counter-Speech generation due to the alignment between LanD’s domains of expertise and my thesis’ research objectives.
