Talking about Quantum Computing always makes me feel like I am wearing a pair of glasses that let me see straight into the future. Join me in this episode of targz with Alessandro Berti , Postdoc at University of Pisa , where we talk about Quantum Algorithms and specifically the importance of (quantum) memory! If you want to dig further in the topic, you can read more in the paper " Efficient...

Have you ever thought about the thinking process of LLMs? Well, Sara Marjanovic , PhD student at University of Copenhagen , did it and she shares her research with us in this episode of targz! If you want to dig further in the topic, you can read more in the paper " DeepSeek-R1 Thoughtology: Let’s think about LLM reasoning ".

Fairness and relevance may be diverging goals in recommender systems. Can we find a way to achieve both? We talk about it with Dr. Theresia Veronika Rampisela in this episode of targz!

In this episode of targz, Franco Maria Nardini , Research Director at ISTI-CNR , explains Seismic, a two-level inverted index for fast retrieval over learned sparse representations. It beats graph-based state-of-the-art methods by up to 3.5x in speed with comparable memory, and opens new directions in inference-free and edge retrieval.

Everyone would like a fair recruitment process, but unfortunately the reality is way more complex than just fixing some sorting algorithm. In this episode of targz Dr. Carlos Castillo, aka ChaTo, from ICREA describes the research conducted by his group to address the issue.

When it comes to recommendation, indirect feedback by user is a powerful tool, but it can be problematic to deal with noise. In this episode of targz Ervin Dervishaj from University of Copenhagen presents a method to leverage LLMs for post-training denoising. How does it work? What are the benefits? Let's find out together! Link to the paper (Post-Training Denoising of User Profiles withLLMs i...

With Giovanni Mauro from Scuola Normale Superiore and Istituto di scienza e tecnologie dell'informazione "A. Faedo" (Cnr-Isti) we discuss how AI influences users and how users influence AI back and the urba`n impact of this feedback loop. Don't miss this third episode of targz!
