The WORLDCUISINES Project, a collaborative project involving our Faculty member Prof. Emmanuele Chersoni, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies, and a team of international researchers including our alum Dr Enrico Santus, has been honoured with the Best Theme Paper Award at the prestigious NAACL 2025 conference.

This innovative project has produced a dataset featuring a large-scale collection of images and questions/answers aimed at testing large language models (LLMs) on their ability to identity and describe dishes from 30 different languages and cultures. Prof. Chersoni and Dr Santus were responsible for the Italian cuisine section of the dataset. Click HERE to read the full paper.
