๐ Happy to share that our work โAuthorship Attribution in Multilingual Machine-Generated Textsโ has been accepted to #ACL2026 (Main)!
๐ง Can you tell if a text was written by a human or a specific LLM? Now imagine doing it across 18 languages!

๐ง ๐ต๏ธ LLMs are mastering the "imitation game"... but can we still tell who wrote what?
๐ At #EMNLP2025, we present OpenTuringBench โ 500K+ texts, 7 open LLMs, 7 challenging tasks, and a new method for machine-generated text detection and attribution!

Thrilled to be visiting the NEtwoRks, Data, and Society (@nerdsitu.bsky.social) group at @itu.dk!
After a wonderful experience here during my PhD, itโs a pleasure to continue collaborating with @lajello.bsky.social ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป
Excited for another inspiring chapter in Copenhagen! ๐ฉ๐ฐ
๐ค Do LLMs reflect our moral expressionsโor alter them?
In our #ACL2025 paper, we study 12 widely used LLMs and found that moral expressions are altered to varying degrees depending on the editing task and moral conditioning prompt.

Thank you, Matteo, for the warm hospitality during our visit to Uppsala University! It was a pleasure teaching a Large Language Model course to such passionate students. I truly appreciated the inspiring exchange of ideas with the UU-InfoLab members, and I look forward to future collaborations!
This week we had the pleasure to host our colleagues and friends from Universitร della Calabria. @luciolcw.bsky.social delivered a well-attended intensive course on Large Language Models, and Andrea Tagarelli presented the research done by his team. We look forward to new collaborations.
๐ We reveal varying levels of alteration of moral expressions depending on the type of text modification task and moral-related conditioning prompt.
Looking forward to presenting our work at #ACL2025 in Vienna! ๐ฆ๐น๐ฅณ
๐ค Our study analyzes the behavior of 12 LLMs among the most widely used Open and uncensored (i.e., "abliterated") models over human-annotated datasets.
๐ Using Moral Foundation Theory, we investigate how Large Language Models (LLMs) capture and potentially alter moral dimensions through text manipulation.
๐ Excited to share that our paper "Exploring LLMs' Ability to Spontaneously and Conditionally Modify Moral Expressions through Text Manipulation" has been accepted to #ACL2025 (Main)!
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of e-meeting the OpenAI team for an insightful discussion about Open LLMs. While I canโt share details just yet, thereโs a lot to be excited about! ๐
It was particularly inspiring to see Sam Altman join the session and share OpenAIโs vision for open models ๐คฏ

Had an amazing time last week in Trento for #CS2Italy! ๐ฎ๐น
I presented our work on automating content compliance checking in social media using LLM agents (arxiv.org/abs/2409.08963) ๐ค๐
It was great to catch up with old friends and meet new ones! So grateful for the inspiring conversations ๐
