Hi there, I'm Eleonora Mancini 👋

PhD Candidate in Computer Science & Engineering

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Bologna, working in the Language Technologies Lab.
My research focuses on multimodal deep learning, language & speech & audio & music modeling, and explainability, with the broader goal of understanding how AI interprets human expressive signals such as voice, language, and musical performance.

🧠 Research Interests

  • Multimodal AI for Human Expression (speech × text × music)
  • Speech & paralinguistic signal modeling
  • Multimodal Argument Mining & political discourse analysis
  • AI for clinical assessment & decision support
  • Music Information Retrieval & creative AI
  • Explainable & perceptually-grounded model interpretation

🔬 Research Experience

  • Visiting Researcher · Sony AI Barcelona
    Adapted large speech–language models to the music domain for musical version identification and audio-based lyrics representation.

  • Visiting Researcher · Mila / Québec AI Institute (SpeechBrain Lab)
    Benchmarked explainability techniques for speech-based Parkinson’s and depression detection, and developed high-quality listenable explanations grounded in human perception.

🎓 PhD Dissertation (in progress)

“Multimodal AI for Human Expression Understanding”
Investigating how multimodal signals convey meaning across political, clinical, and musical communication settings.
