I’m professor of computer science at the University of Siena and 3IA chair at Université Côte d’Azur, Nice (MAASAI lab https://team.inria.fr/maasai/team-members/). My research interests are in the field of artificial intelligence, with emphasis on machine learning, vision, and game playing. In the last few years, I’ve been mainly involved in the unification of computational processes of reasoning and learning. I’m mostly driven by the principle that the the emergence of cognition is rooted in natural laws of computation. I also very much like discussions on novel models of computation and their relationships with human brain.
