Based on the philosophy of the Semantic Web, Ontotext exploits text processing and automatic reasoning technologies to extract knowledge from texts and organise it conceptually in an ontology. Unlike common search engines, the Ontotext Portal directly accesses the concepts and entities of the ontology and presents the user with structured information instead of mere portions of texts. For each entity, the Ontotext Portal offers four different views: Articles (lists all the documents in which it is mentioned), Citografo (shows how often it is mentioned), Opinions (shows how often opinions are expressed about it), and Record (provides extra information about it).
Our pick of the week by @beomseok_lee_: "ALAS: Measuring Latent Speech-Text Alignment For Spoken Language Understanding In Multimodal LLMs" by Pooneh Mousavi, @yingzhi_wang, @mirco_ravanelli, and @CemSubakan (2025)
#SLU #speech #multimodal #LLM
Speech-language models show promise in multimodal tasksโbut how well are speech & text actually aligned? ๐ค
This paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19937 proposes a new metric to measure layer-wise correlation between the two, with a focus on SLU tasks. ๐๐ฃ๏ธ๐
๐ Ciao! Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio!
๐https://bocconi.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2nTelXaXvJlinbg (รจ anonimo, dura ~10 m, se partecipi o lo diffondi ci aiuti un sacco๐)
Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano di AI!
Our pick of the week by @apierg: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" by Arjun Subramonian, Vagrant Gautam, Preethi Seshadri, Dietrich Klakow, @kaiwei_chang, @YizhouSun (2025).

Super interesting paper by Subramonian et al: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.17075
Turns out, misgendering is messier than just pronouns. I'd love to see this analysis extended to grammatical gender languages! #LLM #AI #ethics @fbk_mt
๐ New tech report out! Meet FAMA, our open-science speech foundation model family for both ASR and ST in ๐ฌ๐ง English and ๐ฎ๐น Italian.
The models are live and ready to try on @huggingface ๐
