Stiamo vivendo una rivoluzione tecnologica, ma quanto conosciamo realmente l'uso dell'IA nella nostra quotidianità? Aiuta a scoprirlo compilando questo breve questionario (10 min): bit.ly/sondaggio_ai...

🔍 Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio! 👉 bit.ly/sondaggio_ai... (è anonimo, richiede ~10 minuti, e se partecipi o lo fai girare ci aiuti un sacco🙏) Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano e non sono esperte di AI!

Today @luisabentivogli.bsky.social, Dennis Fucci, and @apierg.bsky.social presented a research communication about gender-neutral translation in the morning poster session #CLiCit2024 #NLProc

TweetyIta and ItaEval are a language model and evaluation benchmark for Italian tasks. What's more, they are 100% community-driven and born within RiTA (rita-nlp.org). @asantilli.bsky.social will present the poster on Dec 5, 16:30-17:30. + Pieter Delobelle, Moreno La Quatra, @bsavoldi.bsky.social

We are happy to announce that our PhD students Dennis Fucci and @apierg.bsky.social along with our head of unit @luisabentivogli.bsky.social, will attend #CLiCit2024 in Pisa! Meet them at the poster presentations during the main conference and the #CALAMITA event!

Another interesting fact about Bluesky's Italian localization: the website greets new users in an inclusive way by using * instead of gendered morphemes 👀 ...however, it also refers to the user with a masculine term ('iscritto') right after 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thx @sarapapi.bsky.social for the screenshot!

This paper was written in collaboration with @bsavoldi.bsky.social, @luisabentivogli.bsky.social, and Matteo Negri, and it's one of the many papers on gender fairness and automatic translation authored by the MT group at FBK @fbk-mt.bsky.social
