web search #data show that queries about ideologies had a regular pattern util 2019. Now, AI search causes web traffic to human-written sites to collapse. This is how LLMs will have disruptive impact on #collectivememory
At #ecai: LLMs reflect their culture (e.g., Chinese LLMs see more autocracy than US ones). #academicsky: while unbiased models are possible, adoption is the issue—people prefer "like-minded" AI. The question: Should the EU mandate models like Mistral to protect our culture?
#LLMs larger than 400 B parameters agree better than humans do in interpreting #history. Llama3.1-large is also very consistent when run repeatedly. PAPER (eng) -> github.com/facells/fabi... #academicsky #digitalhumanities Blog (ita) open.substack.com/pub/fabiocel...

tools like AI Overview are transforming web search, increasing reliance on generated answers. This is impacting historical memory, as models like GPT4 can generate distortions. We created a benchmark to study how #LLMs interpret history. #academicsky #clic-it2025 #NLP
#History interpretation is subjective, tainted by #biases, leading to frequent disagreements among humans. We showed that the largest #LLMs can reach an agreement level similar to #humans and can be used as annotators, opening new avenues for studying history. #academicsky #research
🚔 #Crime has a rhythm — can we decode its beat? In a new study co-authored by CSH's @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social, 12 years of detailed crime data reveal relatively stable temporal “heartbeats” for different crime types over time. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I worked a lot with Process Mining this year, so today I release Learnipy v0.10, enriched with some algorithms for extracting petri net, heuristic net and BPMN from data. Enjoy. #datascience #academicsky #opensource

#LLMs are excellent for historical analysis, but their single-source nature leaves them vulnerable to #manipulation or censorship. That's why comparing historical data annotated by LLMs and humans is essential for fostering critical awareness of bias. 👉 www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/13...
#history with #data: correlation between #war and #narrative.
A couple of weeks ago I presented this paper on the extraction of historical structured knowledge from Large Language Models at the conference on digital libraries. The paper is now available! ceur-ws.org/Vol-3937/pap...
It was a very nice opportunity, Thaks to you all! #llm #academicSky
