The influence of personas on Large Language Models (LLMs) has been widely studied, yet their direct impact on performance remains uncertain. This work explores a novel approach to guiding LLM behaviour through role vectors, an alternative to persona-based prompting. We construct 29 role vectors deri
We present ITALIC, a large-scale benchmark dataset of 10,000 multiple-choice questions designed to evaluate the natural language understanding of the Italian language and culture. ITALIC spans 12 domains, exploiting public tests to score domain experts in real-world scenarios. We detail our data col…
Enriching sentences with knowledge from qualitative sources benefits various NLP tasks and enhances the use of labeled data in model training. This is crucial for Financial Sentiment Analysis (FSA), where texts are often brief and contain implied information. We introduce RE-FIN (Retrieval-based Enr…
Despite the state-of-the-art performance of Large Language Models (LLMs), these models often suffer from hallucinations, which can undermine their performance in critical applications. In this work, we propose SAFE, a novel framework for detecting and mitigating hallucinations by leveraging Sparse A
AI and related technologies are reshaping jobs and tasks, either by automating or augmenting human skills in the workplace. Many researchers have been working on estimating if and to what extent jobs and tasks are exposed to the risk of being automatized by AI-related technologies. Our work tackles
The recent growth of black-box machine-learning methods in data analysis has increased the demand for explanation methods and tools to understand their behaviour and assist human-ML model cooperation. In this paper, we demonstrate ContrXT, a novel approach that uses natural language explanations to…
In the last few years, we have been witnessing the increasing deployment of machine learning-based systems, which act as black boxes whose behaviour is hidden to end-users. As a side-effect, this contributes to increasing the need for explainable methods and tools to support the coordination between…
Taxonomies provide a structured representation of semantic relations between lexical terms, acting as the backbone of many applications. The research proposed herein addresses the topic of taxonomy enrichment using an ”human-in-the-loop” semi-supervised approach. I will be investigating possible way…
In this paper, we present Skills2Graph, a tool that, starting from a set of users’ professional skills, identifies the most suitable jobs as they emerge from a large corpus of 2.5M+ Online Job Vacancies (OJVs) posted in three different countries (the United Kingdom, France, and Germany). To this aim…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is gaining interests in both academia and industry, mainly thanks to the proliferation of darker more complex black-box solutions which are replacing their more transparent ancestors. Believing that the overall performance of an XAI system can be augmented b…
