Covid lockdown increased interest in Italian stock market, leading to new investors.

problem Impact of Covid lockdown on Italian stock market investors.
method Analysis of trading activity and investor demographics before and during lockdown.
result New investors during lockdown were more skilled traders than pre-lockdown investors.

Using a data set which includes all transactions among banks in the Italian money market, we study their trading strategies and the dependence among them. We use the Fourier method to compute the variance-covariance matrix of trading strategies. Our results indicate that well defined patterns arise. Two main communitie…

We investigate the shape of the Italian personal income distribution using microdata from the Survey on Household Income and Wealth, made publicly available by the Bank of Italy for the years 1977--2002. We find that the upper tail of the distribution is consistent with a Pareto-power law type distribution, while the r…

AI uses KGs to assess economic impact of selective lockdowns on Italian companies.

problem Impact of selective lockdowns on Italian companies' economic stability.
method Automated Reasoning and Knowledge Graphs to analyze company networks.
result Identifies strategic companies at risk of takeover during lockdowns.

QUACKIE creates a new benchmark for NLP interpretability.

problem Evaluating NLP interpretability methods is challenging due to biased ground truths.
method Formulated a custom classification task from question-answering datasets, generating unbiased ground truths.
result Demonstrated the effectiveness of current interpretability methods on the new benchmark.

We study the gap between the state pension provided by the Italian pension system pre-Dini reform and post-Dini reform. The goal is to fill the gap between the old and the new pension by joining a defined contribution pension scheme and adopting an optimal investment strategy that is target-based. We find that it is po…

TX-Ray analyzes and quantifies model knowledge transfer in NLP.

problem Insufficient methods for explaining and quantifying model knowledge transfer in NLP.
method Modified computer vision explainability principle to NLP, visualizing feature preference distributions.
result TX-Ray reveals how self-supervised models learn linguistic abstractions and improves generalization.

In this paper we describe three stochastic models based on a semi-Markov chains approach and its generalizations to study the high frequency price dynamics of traded stocks. The three models are: a simple semi-Markov chain model, an indexed semi-Markov chain model and a weighted indexed semi-Markov chain model. We show…

This paper improves NLP interpretability by using sentence segments instead of words.

problem Limitations of word-based sampling in explaining complex BERT models.
method Using sentence segments as elementary building blocks for NLP interpretability.
result Improved fidelity of the explainer on a benchmark classification task.

We introduce HUBERT which combines the structured-representational power of Tensor-Product Representations (TPRs) and BERT, a pre-trained bidirectional Transformer language model. We show that there is shared structure between different NLP datasets that HUBERT, but not BERT, is able to learn and leverage. We validate …
