I have taught two PhD courses on Introduction to Deep Learning and Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing at the University of Zürich in March and May 2020, on invitation of Professor Martin Volk and Professor Rico Sennrich.

I supervised MSc. students for their dissertations:

• Iona Carslaw for her dissertation "Generalised Compositionality of Low-Resource Translation". 2022
• Yutong Liu for her dissertation "Compositional Generalization in Machine Translation for Low-resource Languages". 2022
• Oliver Aarnikoivu for his dissertation "Robustness of Machine Translation for Low-Resource Languages". 2021
• Sean Mahon for his dissertation "Semi-supervised neural machine translation with Generative Adversarial training". 2020
• Wen Ding for his dissertation "Non-autoregressive Language Model Based on Adversarially Regularized Autoencoders". 2019
• Jack Parry for his dissertation "Finding the Answers with Definition Models". 2018

As assistant teacher I assisted for two academic years (2011-2012 and 2012-2013) Professor Giuseppe Attardi at teaching the Advanced Programming course of Laurea magistrale (Master's degree) in Computer science and networking at University of Pisa (Italy).

My responsibilities consisted in lecturing for approximately twenty hours per year and assisting the main teacher at grading programming assignments in Java, C++ and C# and administering oral exams.
