🚀🤝 The 5th #HEREDITARY Plenary Meeting is currently taking place on 5th and 6th February 2026 at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal.
🎯 Consortium partners discussed the project status, updates on Work Packages progress, and next steps.
📸 Catch a glimpse from the event!
The workshop took place at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in Lisbon, Portugal, and featured a hands-on hackathon where participants collaborated on federated clustering methods, data preprocessing, and federated learning.
🤝📊 Today, the #HEREDITARY Plenary Meeting kicks off at the same venue.
💻 HEREDITARY Hackathon | Federated Learning Workshop 6.
Yesterday, the HEREDITARY project consortium members joined the Federated Learning Workshop 6, organized by SURF, as part of the Federated Learning and Infrastructure Working Group.
📸 Here are some snapshots!
🤝 As this work continues to progress across the different WPs, this week the project partners will gather in Lisbon for the third consortium meeting.
An opportunity to share updates, align efforts and strengthen collaboration.

Authors: Simone Merlo, Stefano Marchesin, Guglielmo Faggioli, and Nicola Ferro.
🏆 The paper has received the Best Student Full Paper Award.
👏 Congratulations to the authors!
This work introduces an innovative framework to estimate the quality of LLM-generated annotations, providing statistical guarantees while significantly reducing human effort.
The research was conducted within WP3 of the #HEREDITARY project.
#HEREDITARYOpenScience
The paper “A Cost-Effective Framework to Evaluate LLM-Generated Relevance Judgements” has been published in the Proceedings of the 34th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2025).
