Projects

Logo of the Inclusive Humanities project
Inclusive Humanities
Prospettive di sviluppo nella ricerca e nella didattica delle lingue e letterature straniere
Jan 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2027
[www]

With this project, the department aims to contribute to addressing several global challenges that have emerged in recent years. The pandemic emergency, the ecological crisis, and the current situation of geopolitical instability on a global level require universities to rethink their social function from an inclusive and digital perspective, aimed at widespread dissemination and sharing of scientific knowledge to the general public. These challenges require a rethinking of content and its accessibility, as well as experimentation in innovative and blended teaching methods in the field of foreign languages and literatures, aimed particularly at user groups that have not been adequately considered so far. The main purpose of the plan is to promote and foster inclusion in research, teaching, infrastructure, and the dissemination of scientific content in order to overcome gender, economic, social, and cultural disparities both within and outside the university.


NexusLinguarum logo
NexusLinguarum (COST Action CA18209)
European network for Web-centred linguistic data science
Oct 28, 2019 - Oct 27, 2023
[www]

The main aim of this Action is to promote synergies across Europe between linguists, computer scientists, terminologists, and other stakeholders in industry and society, in order to investigate and extend the area of linguistic data science.


Digital Humanities applied to foreign languages and literatures
Jan 1, 2018 - Dec 31, 2022
[www]

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures of the University of Verona, awarded as Department of Excellence by the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR), obtained a ministerial funding of 6 million euros for the realization of an interdisciplinary project, which will allow the department to become a center of excellence and a laboratory of experimentation, both for research and for teaching, nationally and internationally, in the field of digital humanities applied to foreign languages and literature. The project focuses on the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, innovatively enhancing digital methodologies to broaden and better realize the research areas in two areas: philological-literary and linguistic.


Newsreader EU FP7 Project
NewsReader (EU FP7 STREP Project, Grant 316404)
Building structured event indexes of large volumes of financial and economic data for decision making
Jan 1, 2013 - Dec 31, 2015
[www]

NewsReader will process news in 4 different languages when it comes in. It will extract what happened to whom, when and where, removing duplication, complementing information, registering inconsistencies and keeping track of the original sources. Any new information is integrated with the past, distinguishing the new from the old and unfolding story lines in a similar way as people tend to remember the past and access knowledge and information. The difference being that NewsReader can provide access to all original sources and will not forget any details. We will develop a decision-support tool that allows professional decision-makers to explore these story lines using visual interfaces and interactions to exploit their explanatory power and their systematic structural implications. Likewise, NewsReader can make predictions from the past on future events or explain new events and developments through the past. The tool will be tested by professional decision makers in the financial and economic area.


PESCaDO EU FP7 Project
PESCaDO (EU FP7 STREP Project, Grant 248594)
Personalized Environmental Service Configuration and Delivery Orchestration
Jan 1, 2010 - Dec 31, 2012
[www]

The overall goal of PESCaDO is to research and develop strategies for user-centred environmental service orchestration and multilingual information delivery. The strategies, realized as an operational workbench, will support the user during the entire process of decision-making – from the formulation of the problem, via the search for adequate environmental service nodes and their connection (including data, knowledge and language synchronization), up to multilingual information, advice, hints, etc. delivery. The workbench will adapt to the language preferences and the profile and the needs of the user. Furthermore, it will allow for intervention and feedback at any stage of the process, incorporate the received feedback and facilitate several loops of the process.


APOSDLE EU FP6 Project
APOSDLE (EU FP6 Integrated Project, Grant 027023)
Advanced process-oriented self-directed learning environment
Mar 1, 2006 - Feb 28, 2010
[www]

The EU project APOSDLE develops a software platform and tools to support you to learn @ work: Learn within the context of your immediate work and within your current work environment. The new Advanced Process-Oriented Self-Directed Learning Environment will provide you with practical guidance, learning content and expert advice when you need it and where you need it.

Datasets

Contextual Bias in LLM Manuscript Evaluation

The repository contains the data, code and experimental materials used to study the influence of author metadata on the evaluation of scientific articles by large language models. It includes code to retrieve article texts from arXiv, query the different LLMs and perform the statistical analyses, together with the resulting outputs. The prompts and questionnaire used in the experiment, the settings for manipulating the corresponding author, the lists of names and institutions used, and the arXiv identifiers of the articles included in the study are also provided.
[www]

Contextual Bias in LLM Proposal Evaluation

The repository contains data, code and experimental results used to analyse the sensitivity of large language models to contextual information when evaluating research proposals according to a scheme inspired by ERC evaluation. It includes the synthetic proposals used as experimental stimuli, the raw scores produced by the models with different prompt templates, code for response generation, preprocessing and statistical analyses, as well as processed results including aggregate, per-model and per-prompt analyses, significance tests and robustness analyses.
[www]

Authorship Bias in Large Language Models

The repository contains data, code and results from the study of the influence of authorship attribution on the evaluation of literary texts by large language models. The experiment considers three Italian short stories evaluated by four LLMs under three different authorship-attribution conditions (human, artificial intelligence, and human–AI collaboration), for a total of 3,600 completed questionnaires. The complete questionnaires, prompts, texts used in the experiment, code for querying the models and performing the statistical analyses, as well as tables, plots and test results, are made available.
[www]

Census-like survey responses generated by LLM-impersonated profiles

The dataset comprises 6,400 demographic surveys generated by four widely used large language models (OpenAI GPT-4o-mini, Google Gemini 2.5 Flash, Google Gemma 3 27B, and AllenAI OLMo 2 32B). Each model was instructed to impersonate different user profiles, including a generic US resident, an Asian person, an African American person, a white person, a person with a disability, a man, and a woman. The repository also includes the code used to generate these profiles and the results of statistical analyses comparing the collected data across models and demographic profiles and against real reference data.
[www]

LLM Fidelity as Survey Respondents

The dataset contains synthetic responses generated by five Large Language Models to an Italian questionnaire on inclusion in education, consisting of open-ended questions, single-word associations and Likert-scale items. For each of the 831 anonymised profiles observed in the human sample, each model generated one questionnaire completion, for a total of 4,155 synthetic completions. The resource was built to study the fidelity of LLMs as synthetic survey respondents by comparing the distributions of generated responses with human responses using semantic, affective, lexical-diversity and ordinal-distribution measures. The repository provides the model-generated responses and the materials required to replicate the analyses; human responses are not publicly distributed because of confidentiality and data-protection constraints.

Bloomberg Terminal Dataset for Target-Based Financial Sentiment Analysis

The dataset comprises 1,334 financial-news articles collected through Bloomberg Terminal (from 4 September 2023 to 30 January 2024) about four listed companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Netflix and Nvidia). Each article contains metadata such as publication date/time, a unique ID, the target company and the URL. Three annotators manually labelled both the target entity and the financial sentiment towards that target (-1 = Negative, 0 = Neutral, +1 = Positive). The dataset supports performance comparisons among generative models (LLMs), transformer-based discriminative models and lexicon-based methods for target-based financial sentiment analysis.

PRIPiT: An Annotated Dataset for Propaganda Detection through Ideology, Power Relations and Persuasion in Politicians' War-related Tweets

The dataset consists of 1,000 English-language tweets posted by Russian and Ukrainian politicians during the ongoing war. The tweets were manually annotated with 45 distinct labels, grouped into categories such as genre, ideologies, power relations and persuasion. The dataset was developed with two purposes: to analyse propaganda by integrating research from Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and to support research on multi-label classification for computational propaganda detection. It is intended for researchers, NLP practitioners and educators interested in detailed propaganda detection in social media, with the aim of contributing to more transparent, fair and effective models for the analysis of short-text digital media.
[www]

Representation of Disability in Large Language Models

The dataset includes anonymised Reddit posts written by people with disabilities and synthetic posts generated by different language models (LLMs) simulating the perspective of people with disabilities. Each post is automatically annotated with predicted labels for sentiment, emotions and expressions associated with depression. The dataset was created to support a study comparing how people with disabilities express their emotions online with how LLMs represent those emotions when writing from the same perspective.
[www]

LLM Jailbreaking

The dataset supports a study of the effects of a simple and generalisable jailbreak attack obtained by asking language models to 'think in reverse', that is, to reason in a way opposite to their usual behaviour. It contains the jailbroken responses generated by three LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude), together with the prompts used and manual annotations of response quality: A (incorrect or toxic), B (correct and non-toxic but incoherent or not very meaningful), and C (correct).
[www]

Do LLMs Dream of Ontologies?

The repository provides data and code supporting the analysis of how language models handle ontological concepts. It includes Dataset (GO and UBERON with predictions from Pythia-12B, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4), Performance_analysis (scripts to compute web occurrences, correlate performance with concept frequency, and generate plots and prompts), and Prompt_invariance (code and results for testing the robustness of predictions under different prompts).
[www]

Explicit Lyrics Datasets and Detectors

The resource includes two annotated datasets, one for English (807K songs) and one for Italian (37K songs), built from content available on Spotify and LyricWiki to train and evaluate automatic tools for identifying songs whose lyrics contain content potentially offensive or inappropriate for children. An additional dataset of about 4K songs was manually annotated with more detailed information on the nature of the explicit content, indicating why the lyrics are marked as such, for example strong language or sexual references. The resource also includes a suite of classifiers, including Logistic Regression, FastText, 1D-CNN and BERT, for the automatic identification of explicit lyrics, together with Python code for training and evaluation and pre-trained ready-to-use models for English and Italian. For English, resources and tools are also available for a more fine-grained analysis of the nature of explicit content.

Linguistic Resources

Robotic Surgery Propositional Bank (RSPB)

The Robotic-Surgery Propositional Bank is the first robotic-surgery procedural framebank and corpus, annotated with PropBank-style semantic labels. Starting from the original PropBank framebank, we enriched it by adding new lemmas, frames and semantic roles required to cover missing information in general English but needed in procedural surgical language, releasing the Robotic-Surgery Procedural Framebank (RSPF). We then collected from robotic-surgery textbooks as-is sentences for a total of 32,448 tokens, and we annotated them with RSPF labels. We so obtained and publicly released the first annotated corpus of the robotic-surgical domain that can be used to foster further research on language understanding and procedural entities and relations extraction from clinical and surgical scientific literature
