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. --- ## ๐Ÿ”ฌ Research Areas - **Data Science & Machine Learning** โ€” data-driven methods, predictive models, and large-scale analytics pipelines - **Data Profiling & Data Mining** โ€” discovery of functional dependencies, metadata extraction, and incremental profiling on big data architectures - **Information Retrieval & RAG** โ€” dense retrieval, embedding benchmarking, chunking strategies, and multilingual RAG evaluation - **Data Privacy & Social Network Analysis** โ€” privacy-preserving techniques, anonymisation, and analysis of social graph structures - **Web Engineering & Visual Languages** โ€” web-based information systems, visual query languages, and multimedia databases - **Artificial Intelligence** โ€” applied AI across NLP, computer vision, and data management tasks --- ## ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Team ### [Giuseppe Polese](https://docenti.unisa.it/004281/en/home) **Full Professor** ยท Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno ๐Ÿ“ง gpolese@unisa.it [![ORCID](https://img.shields.io/badge/ORCID-0000--0002--8496--2658-green?logo=orcid)](https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8496-2658) [![Scholar](https://img.shields.io/badge/Google%20Scholar-profile-blue?logo=googlescholar)](https://scholar.google.it/citations?user=F2YX_9gAAAAJ) --- ### [Stefano Cirillo](https://huggingface.co/cciro94) **Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track)** ยท Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno ๐Ÿ“ง scirillo@unisa.it ยท ๐ŸŒ [UNISA page](https://docenti.unisa.it/032633/en/curriculum) [![ORCID](https://img.shields.io/badge/ORCID-0000--0003--0201--2753-green?logo=orcid)](https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0201-2753) [![Scholar](https://img.shields.io/badge/Google%20Scholar-profile-blue?logo=googlescholar)](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=hp98wacAAAAJ) --- ### [Giandomenico Solimando](https://huggingface.co/Siando) **Researcher** ยท Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno ๐ŸŒ [UNISA page](https://rubrica.unisa.it/persone?matricola=042733) [![ORCID](https://img.shields.io/badge/ORCID-0009--0000--6627--8820-green?logo=orcid)](https://orcid.org/0009-0000-6627-8820) [![Scholar](https://img.shields.io/badge/Google%20Scholar-profile-blue?logo=googlescholar)](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Q-4QThkAAAAJ) --- ## ๐Ÿ”— Links - ๐ŸŒ [Lab Website](https://www.di.unisa.it/dipartimento/strutture?id=123) - ๐Ÿ›๏ธ [University of Salerno โ€” Department of Computer Science](https://www.di.unisa.it) --- *If you use our datasets or find our work useful, please consider citing the relevant paper.
