Biography

Hello! I am Federico Bianchi, I am a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University with Prof. Dan Jurafsky.

You can find my work in the main track of different AI venues (e.g., AAAI, ACL, ICLR, NAACL, EACL) and Journals (e.g., Cognitive Science, Nature PJQI) and my work as also been featured in press or in company media outlets (see, 1, 2, 3, 4).

I have experience in building and deploying large language models (e.g., FashionCLIP), model understanding (e.g., VLMs Analysis) and fairness in recommender systems (e.g., EvalRS).

I recently joined the Giving What We Can initiative and donate monthly; You should consider joining, if you can. While I haven’t formally pledged yet, I hope to be able to do so soon.

Outreach

Research Philosophy

I think scientific research should be easy to access and to replicate. You can find most of my papers on ArXiv and on open access platforms - unfortunately, this is not always possible. The code I write is available online and I try to make it easy to use so that everyone can benefit from it.

I also try to actively participate in scientific communication. I have many blog posts online, explaining different research topics to the public and I am also part of the ComIntArt (Comitato Intelligenza Artificiale) where I do videos for the Italian public (see for example, this video on GPT-3 limits).
