What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in AI and NLP, emphasizing collaboration and growth.

I am Arianna Giannoni, an Italian linguist and language consultant with a robust academic background in Italian Language and Literature, complemented by my ongoing MA studies in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to exploring the intersection of language and technology, particularly in the realms of natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI).

Currently, I am engaged as a contractor with Outlier at Scale AI, where I focus on reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) tasks, including prompt writing and evaluating outputs from large language models (LLMs). My previous role at Speechmorphing Inc. allowed me to contribute to the development of text-to-speech (TTS) devices, where I honed my skills in text normalization, phonetic transcription, and quality assurance. My experience spans various projects in NLP, including corpus annotation and sentiment analysis, showcasing my adaptability and expertise in the field.

With a passion for new technologies and a keen interest in how languages connect with AI, I continuously seek opportunities to leverage my linguistic knowledge in innovative ways. I am dedicated to advancing my understanding of language as a cognitive capacity and its applications in computational linguistics and psycholinguistics.
