Should I read it? 🤣

An intense day in Paris at the Fête des Startups, organized by @InriaStartup 📈 💡An opportunity to exchange with such a great group of entrepreneurs. 📚Greatful for having deepened my knowledge of #entrepreneuriat, #deeptech, and #startup.

Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you. Getting named Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me. We’ve seriously had THE MOST fun this year out there on tour and now this. Are you serious. So I was trying to think of a way to thank you, and a lot of you have been asking me to put “You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)” on streaming... so here you go! You can finally listen EVERYWHERE now 💋 taylor.lnk.to/YLMfromthevaul…

Dataset of the HODI - Homotransphobia Detection in Italian task @debora_nozza #EVALITA2023

I'm thrilled and honored to have been awarded an #ERCStG for my project PERSONAE. I'll explore subjective #NLProc models from individuals' perspectives, with the goal of enhancing their efficiency and accessibility for all. Thanks to @ERC_Research for this opportunity!

🥳Happy to share that this week I started my PhD journey at @Univ_CotedAzur and @inria_sophia in the @Laboratoire_I3S . 👩‍💻Can't wait to see where this amazing experience will take me!

👩‍🎓Happy to share that I graduated in July 2023 from @Unibocconi obtaining my Master's Degree in #DataScience! My dissertation is titled "Detecting online Hate Speech against LGBT individuals: a study with Italian Tweets" #NLProc (I was waiting for the official photos)

Can’t agree more! Was a volunteer at NAACL 2022 and EACL 2023 🤠 Bonus: sometimes the friendships can go way beyond just a single conference! @davidelct @DamoGreta 🤗 we exchanged snacks and tea we got from 🇳🇱🇩🇪🇮🇹 at #EACL2023 (unfortunately they are in my delayed/missing 🧳)
