E oggi ho condiviso con il centro interdipartimentale Alma AI e un gruppo di colleghe e colleghi giuristi capitanati da Monica Palmirani i risultati a grandi linee del gruppo @abstractionerc.bsky.social su studi che coinvolgono l'uso di LLMs. Questa settimana è decisamente densa :-)

Tomorrow I’m ready to hop on a train to Pisa right after my class, to take part in the round table at CNR ISTI, with top-notch computer scientists, to talk about the use and abuse of AI in research. I’ll be contributing the perspective of the humanities. Stay tuned!

Love this visual device: parents's discussions are shown not through words, only symbols, mostly pointing fingers.
From the child’s view, the words don’t matter; it’s adult stuff. What he perceives is the tone, the tension, the conflict.
A brilliant way to show how kids experience adult language.

Excited to kick off day 1 of the CIRM International Annual Conference on Metaphor and Multimodality at the University of Calabria in Rende: such a beautiful campus nestled in the hills. Enjoyed a lovely morning walk to get here! My invited keynote is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

In the seminar room this morning, there was this (rather distracting) writing on the wall: “Piume al vento” (“Feathers in the Wind"). 🦩 Quite exotic and mysterious, indeed 🙃

Excited to share that I contributed to an article just published in #Nature. My role was on the cognitive side, as part of a collaboration evolved from a fantastic #Dagstuhl seminar.
Collective works like these are crucial windows into where our communities are going!
