Giulio Corradi (Privacy Network), and Marta Marchiori Manerba (University of Turin) will present one of their latest work.
Abstract:
In this talk we present Advocacy Radar, a platform that allows civil society practitioners, journalists, and policy researchers to monitor the state of digital rights advocacy in Italy and Europe from an interactive interface.
Advocacy Radar adapts NLP methods to collect and process heterogeneous public sources – including regulatory authorities, NGOs, and technology media – spanning both Italian and multilingual documents.
Analyses are presented through a dynamic multi-view dashboard. A human-in-the-loop correction through the interface allows domain experts to refine model outputs and incrementally improve models over time.
In this seminar, we describe the system architecture, its main dashboard components, and representative use cases for different user profiles.
Remark: The project is developed in partnership with Privacy Network, an association committed to safeguarding digital rights in Italy and beyond.
The work is ongoing; a version of this paper has been submitted to CLiC-it 2026.
We welcome informal feedback and suggestions from the CCC audience: your expertise and perspective would be super precious in shaping the next stages of development.
