Hi, I'm Alberto Purpura, an AI researcher and engineer based in NYC, currently at Capital One's Card Intelligence team. I'm passionate about making AI accessible, unbiased, and impactful. My expertise spans natural language processing, information retrieval, and building scalable ML systems for real-world applications. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, and my work has contributed to both academic research and industry innovation. My research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals and conferences, including SIGIR, ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, ECIR, and AMIA.
Over the years, I've developed advanced models for information extraction, management, and retrieval at various companies, from startups to Big Tech. In my free time I also enjoy creating mobile apps and home automation tools—check out my GitHub for open-source LLM projects and my Apple Developer page for published apps.
