You will create and evaluate Italian/English prompts and responses, ensuring scientific precision while maintaining clear, natural Italian phrasing consistent with academic conventions in Italy or Italian-speaking Switzerland, and alignment with English where needed. Create detailed prompts in Italian and/or English with multiple constraints and scientifically accurate instructions. Establish high-level expectations for correct responses in STEM contexts, and develop comprehensive rubrics that account for scientific rigor and—when written in Italian—linguistic clarity, regionally appropriate terminology (Italy or Italian-speaking Switzerland usage), and academic tone. Run prompts through AI models and assess preliminary outputs against expectations for scientific accuracy, reasoning quality, and clarity. Compare Italian and English responses where needed. Collaborate in QA review processes to ensure prompt tasks and rubrics meet scientific standards. Maintain consistency and reliability across Italian-language benchmarks prior to integration into official evaluation sets.
