(7 September, 2016) A new recognition for Francesco Saverio Pavone, director of LENS (European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy) of the University of Florence. According to the University’s website, the Florentine scholar has been selected to receive the IBM Faculty Award. The award was conferred in 2016 for the joint research group, ClicOnLab (LENS/IBM) for the development of an application for the Galileo Museum. The smartphone app assists the viewer with features based on computational cognitive approaches. Pavone explains, “In particular, the application recognises a work of art with a photograph and translates the work’s details in real time and in the appropriate language. Further developments are being made such as user profiling for a more personalised experience and the automated flow control.
