Research

Riccardo Cantini’s research spans two distinct areas: deep learning, focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs) and sustainable artificial intelligence, and big social data analysis, targeting politically polarized data and the efficient execution of data-intensive applications in high-performance distributed environments.
  • Deep Learning and Large Language Models
  • Riccardo Cantini’s research in deep learning explores the potential of Transformer-based LLMs, such as BERT and GPT, showcasing their versatility across diverse domains. Sustainability is a central theme in this research area, emphasizing green awareness and promoting the efficient, fair, and trustworthy use of LLMs.

  • Big Social Data Analysis
  • Riccardo Cantini’s research in big social data analysis explores how detailed user information from social media can be leveraged to uncover users’ perceptions of real-world events, offering data-driven insights into socio-political phenomena. His work addresses critical issues including reliability, language barriers, and dynamicity, while also tackling the challenges related to resource-intensive computation.
