## 🧠 About Us

The **PRAISE (PRedictive AnalytIcs for underStanding big multimEdia data)** research group is part of the **PICUS Lab** at the **Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies (DIETI)**, University of Naples Federico II, Italy.  
We are a team of researchers with a strong background in **AI**, **multimodal data understanding**, and **predictive analytics** across multiple domains including **eHealth**, **Social Network Analysis**, and **Multimedia Data Analysis**.

Our goal is to develop intelligent systems that can **understand**, **predict**, and **interact** with complex multimedia information—especially focusing on language, vision, and their integration.

## 🔬 Research Topics

- **Multimodal AI for Healthcare**
  - Multilingual and multimodal language models
  - Diagnostic and therapeutic AI assistance
  - Automatic EHR generation from speech and unstructured text (Italian)
  - Medical image understanding (CT, MRI, X-ray, etc.)

- **Social Network Modeling & Simulation**
  - Generative Agent-Based Frameworks
  - LLM-driven simulation of social phenomena: stance change, information diffusion
  - Tools for crowd fact-checking, fake news and harmful content detection

- **Lie Detection from Multimedia Streams**
  - AI for behavioral analysis and deception detection
  - Collaborative project with US-based Courtscribes Company

- **Big Scholarly Data Analytics**
  - Automated knowledge extraction and semantic enrichment
  - Development of analytics platforms for scientific literature

---

## 🤖 Models

We are currently developing **fine-tuned multimodal language models** for the **Italian medical domain**, in collaboration with national (e.g., Accenture, Almaviva) and international partners (e.g., King’s College London).  
Our models integrate **textual** and **visual** medical data to support clinical tasks in real-world applications.
