Dario Di Palma
Ph.D. student at Poliba

Hi, I’m Dario Di Palma, a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Bari, Italy, under the guidance of Professor Tommaso Di Noia. I hold both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Bari, where I developed a strong foundation in Artificial Intelligence and Recommender Systems.
My research focuses on integrating Large Language Models and Recommender Systems, culminating in the development of a pioneering example: Recommender-ChatGPT. I specialize in interpretability techniques to explore LLM latent spaces and develop multi-objective evaluation frameworks for RS to address diverse user and system needs. I am set to graduate in January 2026.
