Research
I personally like to read and discuss about the following topics:
- Evolutionary systems (and evolution of language in particular)
- Artificial intelligence
- Philosophy of Science
- Philosophy of Mind
- Cognition
- Multi-agent systems
- Swarm Intelligence
- Machine Learning
I have worked on complex network growth models, social modeling, data mining and machine learning. Nowadays, I am working corpus based approaches of common sense and semantic knowledge extraction.
