TRAIL Research Camp
I am pleased to announce that I have been awarded a scholarship from the University of Lausanne (UNIL) to participate in the TRAIL Research Camp 2026 (TREC), part of the TRAIL Summer Workshops. During the Research Camp, I will join the research group led by Olivier Ratenon, working on the project “When the model should hesitate: Uncertainty-Aware ASR/NLP for Early Language Disorder Screening in Children.”
Ital-IA 2026
I am happy to announce that I will be speaking at the Ital-IA 2026 conference in Rome on June 18th. I will present two papers accepted for publication in the conference proceedings: a review of the AI related studies we do at CSC, “Preserving Memory, Expanding Creativity: Human-Centered AI Trajectory in Engineering and Music Research at the CSC of Padua University”, and a follow up work on Lilybert, “Can LLMs understand LilyPond? A benchmark for symbolic music generation and understanding”. See you there.
Lilybert is available on Hugging Face
We release Lilybert, a new model for music understanding that brings the LilyPond notation format to deep learning. It is available for download on Hugging Face, alongside an open dataset published on Zenodo. Learn more about it in our preprint paper.
