Welcome to the homepage of Livio Robaldo. I was born in Turin, Italy, in 1979. I earned
a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2007, at the University of Turin.
In 2015, I won a
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual fellowship
and I moved to the University of Luxembourg,
Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT),
where I currently work. In Oct-Dec 2017, I was an official Visiting Scholar at Stanford University,
interacting with researchers in the Department of Linguistics and
the Stanford center for Legal Informatics (CodeX).
My Curriculum Vitae is available here.
I work(ed) on several projects, listed below, and scientific initiatives in Legal Informatics trying to apply insights, methodologies, and techniques from the literature in Natural Language Processing and Natural Language Semantics for modelling the logical structure of norms in machine-readable representations and for mining&processing knowledge from legal texts in terms of such representations.
In February 2014, I became a partner of Nomotika SRL, a spin-off of the University of Turin, upon invitation of the founders, due to their interests in my developed tools and resources. The main
product of Nomotika is MenslegiS, an advanced legal document management system based on legislative XML representation of laws.
I am part of the Joint International Doctoral (Ph.D.) Degree in Law, Science and Technology (LAST-JD). I participate in the organization of the school and I follow(ed) several students, by motivating and advising them on their research activity.
Past research interests include Natural Language Quantifiers, Dependency Parsing, semantics of Discourse Connectives, Sentiment Analysis, and Gamification-based approaches to corpora building.
