Introduction
I work with qualitative, quantitative and computational methods applied to the history of philosophy. I focus on the use of computational tools in the analysis of ancient Greek and (Neo-)Latin philosophical texts. My research interests are mainly in (computational) history of ideas, methodology in the history of philosophy, digital humanities, digital classics, history of ancient philosophy (in particular Aristotle), history of axiomatics and philosophy of science, metaphysics, and mereology.

Conference Paper
We address the problem of creating and evaluating quality Neo-Latin word embeddings for the purpose of philosophical research, adapting the Nonce2Vec tool to learn embeddings from Neo-Latin sentences. This distributional semantic modeling tool can learn from tiny data incrementally, using a larger background corpus for initialization. We conduct tw...
