In my professional work in industry, I focus on practical applications, even in research. As a PhD student at the University of Cagliari, I apply this approach to two seemingly distant cases: generating synthetic reviews and using AI for professional growth. The "fil rouge" is leveraging AI to extract useful information from human data. The first use case involves developing a pipeline for creating synthetic reviews (e.g., for tourism or e-commerce), combining the flexibility of LLMs with taxonomies. The second case starts from business information like CVs or AI-based interviews to extract insights, identify skill gaps, and suggest growth paths for companies or individuals. In this seminar, we will explore both use cases from a scientific/technical perspective while keeping an eye on business applications.
Maven of the Month
We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.
