Ciao, I’m Leonardo! I’m a PhD student in Information Engineering and Computer Science at University of Trento, supervised by Prof. Raffaella Bernardi. My research focuses on the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) at the intersection of AI and cognitive science.
More specifically, I’m passionate about exploring questions such as:
-
LLM Reasoning Processes: How do LLMs perform reasoning tasks? What computational mechanisms underlie their reasoning, and how do these compare to formal logic systems or human-like reasoning?
-
Behavioral Analysis of LLMs: Inspired by cognitive science, can systematic behavioral experiments help us analyze and interpret the decision-making processes of LLMs? What insights can this provide into their strengths and limitations?
-
Bias in AI vs Humans: What biases emerge in LLMs, and how do they compare to human cognitive biases? Are there biases unique to LLMs that arise from their architecture or training data?
