+## About Us
+
+DAISLab is a research laboratory at the **University of Salerno** (UNISA), Italy, operating within the Department of Computer Science. Our work sits at the intersection of **Natural Language Processing**, **Information Retrieval**, **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)**, and **Computer Vision**.
+
+We are committed to open science: our datasets, benchmarks, and experimental resources are publicly released to support reproducible research and community-driven progress.
