&lt;p&gt;The session introduced misinformation and fact-checking, followed by a practical demonstration of natural language inference (NLI) in Google Colab. Students explored how a model compares a claim with evidence, distinguishing entailment, contradiction, and neutral evidence, and discussed the limits of automated support for fact-checking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The seminar took place on September 10, 2026, from 15:15 to 16:00.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A caccia di fake news (PCTO Summer Camp 2025)</title><link>https://michaelsoprano.com/talk/a-caccia-di-fake-news-pcto-summer-camp-2025/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://michaelsoprano.com/talk/a-caccia-di-fake-news-pcto-summer-camp-2025/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A 45-minute seminar in Italian for secondary-school students taking part in the University of Udine&amp;rsquo;s PCTO Summer Camp in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, held on September 4, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The session introduced misinformation, fact-checking, and the role of ground truth. It covered agreement between assessors and included a Google Colab demonstration of an automated fact-checking support system, comparing model predictions with human labels and examining ambiguous evidence.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
