Publication: Investigating Time-Scales in Deep Echo State Networks for Natural Language Processing
23 September 2025
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa analyse the performance and the dynamical behaviour of Reservoir Computing models applied to Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks.
Publication: Social Judgment Interferes With Action Generation During Instrumental Learning
23 September 2025
In this work, EMERGE partners from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich investigated how social judgement modulates behavioural and neural mechanisms underlying value-based decision-making.
Workshop “Cultural Evolution of Planet X: Emergent Creativity & Wisdom of the Crowds”
08 September 2025
EMERGE partners from the University of Bristol are organising the workshop on October 6th, 2025, as part of ALIFE 2025 in Kyoto, Japan.
Publication: Perspectives in Play: A Multi-Perspective Approach for More Inclusive NLP Systems
22 August 2025
EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa propose in this study a new multi-perspective approach using soft labels to encourage the development of the next generation of perspective-aware models—more inclusive and pluralistic.
Publication: Fast: Similarity-Based Knowledge Transfer for Efficient Policy Learning
19 August 2025
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa challenge the key issues in Transfer Learning to improve knowledge transfer and agents' performance across tasks and reduce computational costs.
Publication: ExpliCa: Evaluating Explicit Causal Reasoning in Large Language Models
31 July 2025
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa introduce ExpliCa, a new dataset for evaluating LLMs in explicit causal reasoning.
Workshop Awareness in Artificial Agents
30 July 2025
EMERGE and VALAWAI projects invite you to the Biennale in Venice, Italy, on 6-8 September, to reflect on the nature of awareness through science, technology and art.
Publication: Graph Adaptive Autoregressive Moving Average Models
19 July 2025
In this work, EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa build on the connection between Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) and SSM, and introduce GRAMA, a Graph Adaptive method based on a learnable ARMA framework that addresses these limitations.
Publication: Continually Learn to Map Visual Concepts to Large Language Models in Resource-constrained Environments
19 July 2025
EMERGE partners from the University of Pisa propose in this work a novel learning strategy, Continual Visual Mapping (CVM), which continuously maps visual representations into a fixed knowledge space derived from a language model.
