Hi Dave and all members of cogai,

I have just joined the group. My name is Matteo. I studied mathematics
(MSc) and philosophy (PhD) of Notre Dame (Indiana, USA). I worked on logic,
computability, and philosophy of mathematical practice (e.g. the role of
spatial thinking in domains that are, at least prima facie,
non-geometrical). To carry out the last project, I familiarized myself with
several recent works on cognitive psychology (Getner on analogies, Lackoff
on metaphors, etc.). I am currently working as an ontologist at ADP. I am
interested in learning from and contributing to projects trying to advance
artificial intelligence drawing inspiration from cognitive science and
logic alongside other approaches that are currently more mainstream. I can
program in Python.

How can I get started getting to know this group more and working with you?

All the best,
Matteo
