Hi, I am Lorenzo Vaiani, a PhD student immersed in the captivating world of multimodal learning. My primary research focus revolves around the intricate interplay between vision and language, with a specific emphasis on leveraging AI techniques to tackle pressing societal issues. I got my bachelor's degree in 2018 at the University of Florence and my master's degree at Politecnico di Torino in 2021, with a thesis titled "From Cluster Distributions Through Kernel Density Estimate to Driving Behaviour Scores: A Complete Data Science Pipeline."

My PhD focuses on multimodal learning. I am deeply passionate about unraveling the complexities of social media content and visually rich documents.
Beyond my core expertise in vision-language problems, I am keenly interested in the audio and video domains. This diverse skill set allows me to approach a wide range of complex challenges, further expanding the horizons of my research endeavors.
