Un'indagine sui pregiudizi di genere nelle risposte di ChatGPT

Gloria Bordogna (1) Giuliana Rubbia (2)

Recentemente, ChatGPT si è posto all'attenzione di addetti ai lavori, media, e società, in modo intrigante e controverso. "Offre funzionalità senza precedenti per analizzare dati, collaborare e condividere conoscenze. Tuttavia, è necessario considerare attentamente le implicazioni etiche e preservare le competenze umane" (Florindo, 2023). "Uno strumento per insegnare, non per imbrogliare" (Rose, 2023). Riguardo gli strumenti basati su Intelligenza Artificiale quali i sistemi di Natural Language Processing, pattern recognition e robotica, e quindi i sistemi come ChatGPT, sono stati già messi in evidenza i bias di genere e le problematiche di traduzione e riconoscimento automatici così come le raccomandazioni (Badaloni&Lisi 2020, Ferilli et al. 2020, O'Connor&Liu 2023, UNESCO 2020). Nello specifico, (Gross 2023) ha rilevato come ChatGPT funzioni in modo efficiente ed efficace nel sintetizzare e rigenerare informazione condivisa su Web, il che significa che senza moderazioni può perpetuare stereotipi di genere radicati nella società. Tuttavia, la natura evolutiva di tali sistemi può diventare un volano per correggere i bias e quindi per migliorare la società. Il contributo intende presentare i risultati di un esperimento con domande e risposte rivolte e ottenute da ChatGPT nell'estate 2023 su varie tematiche che presentano un'evidente dimensione di genere, per aprire la discussione su risposte afflitte o meno da pregiudizi e considerazioni di utilizzo.

Per celebrare il centenario dalla fondazione del CNR, l'Istituto IREA sede di Milano ha organizzato una mostra multimediale e autoguidata che, attraverso immagini spettacolari acquisite da satelliti (in particolare Sentinel-2 del programma europeo Copernicus), offre visualizzazioni inedite della superficie terrestre. Le immagini spaziano dai deserti agli oceani ed evidenziano nicchie di biodiversità e peculiarità ambientali di immenso fascino e valore. La mostra si è rivolta in particolare ai giovani con l'intento di stimolare l'interesse del pubblico ai temi ambientali e al loro studio tramite il telerilevamento da satellite. Inoltre, è stata un'occasione per diffondere e approfondire i metodi e i contributi dei ricercatori IREA-CNR alla ricerca sul telerilevamento, attraverso alcuni brevi video sulla mappatura degli ecosistemi acquatici e delle aree incendiate, la qualità delle acque, lo sviluppo delle colture agricole, l'indagine dei cambiamenti climatici. La mostra si è avvalsa della collaborazione nell'ambito di un PCTO (percorso per le competenze trasversali e l'orientamento ) di alcuni studenti del Liceo scientifico Donatelli Pascal di Milano che coordinati dal Prof. Gianluca Planamente e dalla collega Francesca De Santi hanno realizzato una mostra virtuale con interviste ai ricercatori IREA. Hanno visitato la mostra 4 classi liceali e diversi colleghi ricercatori di altri istituti , studenti del Politecnico di Milano e dell'Università Statale di Milano e Bicocca, e numerosi cittadini per un totale di circa 300 persone.

The power and potentials of Flexible Query Answering Systems: A critical and comprehensive analysis

Troels Andreasen and Gloria Bordogna and Guy De Trè and Janusz Kacprzyk and Henrik Legind Larsen and Slawomir Zadrozny

The popularity of chatbots, such as ChatGPT, has brought research attention to question answering systems, capable to generate natural language answers to user's natural language queries. However, also in other kinds of systems, flexibility of querying, including but also going beyond the use of natural language, is an important feature. With this consideration in mind the paper presents a critical and comprehensive analysis of recent developments, trends and challenges of Flexible Query Answering Systems (FQASs). Flexible query answering is a multidisciplinary research field that is not limited to question answering in natural language, but comprises other query forms and interaction modalities, which aim to provide powerful means and techniques for better reflecting human preferences and intentions to retrieve relevant information. It adopts methods at the crossroad of several disciplines among which Information Retrieval (IR), databases, knowledge based systems, knowledge and data engineering, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the semantic web may be mentioned. The analysis principles are inspired by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework, characterized by a top-down process, starting with relevant keywords for the topic of interest to retrieve relevant articles from meta-sources And complementing these articles with other relevant articles from seed sources Identified by a bottom-up process. to mine the retrieved publication data a network analysis is performed Which allows to present in a synthetic way intrinsic topics of the selected publications. issues dealt with are related to query answering methods Both model-based and data-driven (the latter based on either machine learning or deep learning) And to their needs for explainability and fairness to deal with big data Notably by taking into account data veracity. conclusions point out trends and challenges to help better shaping the future of the FQAS field.

Flexible Trip-Planning Queries

Bordogna, Gloria and Carrara, Paola and Frigerio, Luca and Lella, Simone

The current practice of users searching for different types of geo-resources in a geographic area and wishing to identify the most convenient routes for visiting the most relevant ones, requires the iterative formulation of several queries: first to identify the more interesting resources and then to select the best route to visit them. In order to simplify this process, in this paper a novel functionality for a geographic information retrieval (GIR) system is proposed, which retrieves and ranks several routes for visiting a number of relevant georeferenced resources as a result of a single query, named flexible trip-planning query. An original retrieval model is defined to identify the relevant resources and to rank the most convenient routes by taking into account personal user preferences. To this end, a graph-based algorithm is defined, exploiting prioritized aggregation to optimize the routes’ identification and ranking. The proposed algorithm is applied in the proof-of-concept of a Smart cOmmunity-based Geographic infoRmation rEtrievAl SysTem (SO-GREAT) designed to strengthen local communities: it collects and manages open data from regional authorities describing categories of authoritative territorial resources and services, such as schools, hospitals, etc., and from volunteered geographic services (VGSs) created by citizens to offer services in their neighbourhood.

What Really Matters is not just Knowing "What", "Where" and "When" but also Knowing "How"

Gloria Bordogna

Human intelligence has been an object of investigation since the beginning of the research on information science to provide artificial agents with human-like decision making skills. This research field has led to the development of algorithms that try to simulate human reasoning. Several theories have been defined to model decisions in the presence of uncer-tain, imprecise and vague information, based on both subjective and qualitative criteria, expressed linguistically. Today, we are at an epochal turning point in which there are no longer at-tempts to reproduce human reasoning by machines, but algorithms are de-signed as networks of interconnected simple computational units learning to take decisions from examples. This data-driven paradigm simulates children learning from observations, so that their behavior evolves by accumulation of experience. Nevertheless, are we sure that purely learning from data is an effective sufficient method, not affected by bias, and that it can lead to fair systems that we can trust? Are we satisfied with completing a task without know-ing "how" it was performed? Are we sure that children don't have, a priori, more complex and structured mechanisms regulating as well as directing their learning ability? The chapter discusses how decison support systems models have changed and what are future perspectives.

Explainable Multi-Criteria Data-Driven Environmental Status Assessment from Remote Sensing

Stroppiana D.; Boschetti M.; Brivio P.A.; Bordogna G.

The paper proposes a multi-criteria and data driven fusion approach whose semantics can be explained in terms of attitude towards decisions. It is exemplified to assess environmental status from remote sensing images in order to identify hot spot of critical situations and anomalies induced by wildfires, floods, desertification, erosion etc. by fusing multiple factors defined by experts knowledge. The fusion function is an Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator, whose behaviour is here characterized by degrees of pessimism and democracy. The paper proposes to explain the semantics of the fusion function learnt from few ground truth data available, i.e., the OWA operator, by computing its degrees of pessimism/optimism and democracy/monarchy, which are defined as semantic interpretations of both orness and dispersions respectively. Pessimism indicates if the fused map is more prone to commission (overestimation) or omission (underestimation) errors, while democracy indicates how many factors contribute to the generation of the map. The approach is exemplified to map the flooded areas from remote sensing by considering different models based on distinct spectral indexes and domain experts.

Regional Knowledge: Sources, Representation and Management

Gloria Bordogna

The contribution analyses the forms of regional knowledge, its sources, the characteristics of information that can be collected, filtered, represented and managed to extract knowledge to benefit territorial decision makers. Regional knowledge emerges and develops over long periods of time, shaping types of regional activities, vocations and industry structures. Thus, main aspects of the definition of regional knowledge are the geographic and temporal dimensions. Starting from a categorization of regional knowledge into conscious knowledge, that is explicit knowledge held by individuals; objectified knowledge, that is explicit knowledge held by organizations and experts; preconscious knowledge, that is automatic knowledge held by individuals expressed unintentionally; and collective knowledge, implicit knowledge expressed in the practice of organizations, three frameworks for representing and managing information of different nature are indicated as suitable to extract different forms of knowledge, namely: non classical logics, and specifically fuzzy logic, to represent and reason on imprecise conscious and collective knowledge; machine learning to extract preconscious knowledge implicit in geo big data and created by both IoT and within social networks; Petri Nets to formalize objectified knowledge in the form of laws and regulations. For each form of knowledge case studies are illustrated and discussed highlighting the benefits of the adopted formal frameworks. Conclusions summarize the main message and open issues.

A Semantic Approach for Quality Assurance and Assessment of Volunteered Geographic Information

Gloria Bordogna

The paper analyses the characteristics of Volunteer Geographic Information (VGI) and the need to assure and assess its quality for a possible use and re-use. Ontologies and soft ontologies are presented as means to support quality assurance and assessment of VGI by highlighting their limitations. A proposal of a possibilistic approach using fuzzy ontology is finally illustrated that allows to model both imprecision and vagueness of domain knowledge and epistemic uncertainty affecting observations. A case study example is illustrated.
