We receive the best paper award at the HCAI Workshop - ACM CIKM 2025

The article “Enhancing XAI Narratives through Multi-Narrative Refinement and Knowledge Distillation” by Flavio Giorgi, Matteo Silvestri and Gabriele Tolomei from the Department of Computer Science, in collaboration with Fabrizio Silvestri (DIAG) and Cesare Campagnano, received the Best Paper Award at the HCAI 2025 Workshop (Human-Centric AI: From Explainability and Trustworthiness to Actionable Ethics), co-located with the ACM CIKM 2025 international conference in Seoul, Korea.

The work contributes to advancing an extremely promising area of research in the field of human-centred Explainable AI, with the aim of making explanations of AI models more accessible, interpretable and useful in practical and critical contexts. The authors propose a new pipeline that leverages large and small language models (LLMs/SLMs) to generate coherent natural language narratives from counterfactual explanations for predictive models operating on tabular data.
