Iacopo Ghinassi

Iacopo Ghinassi is a Visiting Professor in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London. He specializes in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), with a focus on text and audio segmentation, ethical AI, and language model applications. His teaching includes a postgraduate module on Machine Learning, covering pattern recognition, clustering, and neural networks.

Research interests span computational linguistics, multimodal analysis, and social discourse ethics. Notable projects include MoralBERT (detecting moral values in social media and music lyrics) and audio/text segmentation techniques for podcasts and climate reports. He explores challenges in long-context language models and historical language processing via parallel corpora.

Publications emphasize cross-domain neural encoder comparisons, ethical AI frameworks, and unsupervised learning approaches. His work bridges theoretical NLP advancements with practical applications in media analysis, education, and cultural heritage preservation.
