Most recent update: 2026-05-23
Welcome- this is were I share articles, posts, book and workshop/conferences reviews, and the page with links to additional material for each business book that I published since 2013 (more details on my business experience).
Main focus of this website: cultural/organizational change and digital transformation, with articles, reviews of books and workshops/webinars/software, links to my own books.
This is what you will find in each option contained within the menu:
- HOME
- main page
- _
- SITEMAP/ABOUT/CONTENT SHARE
- this page
- _ articles metadata (on Kaggle)
- a dataset on the content of robertolofaro.com to enable ease of access and downloading from both humans and AIs
- _ GitHub content of each article
- abstract and content (in markdown-like format) of each article that is also listed on the Kaggle dataset
- _ search by article cluster
- a search engine that finds articles on this website using a classification engine produced with the support of AIs, and with LLMs and unsupervised ML to summarize, identify key concepts in each article, cluster within a taxonomy, and associate articles with a main cluster, and one or more additional clusters
- _ Q&A chatbot on articles
- a chatbot using an AI model trained on 350+ articles on this website, up to 2026-05-05, and using as a base model Qwen3.5-4B. The chabot integrates also either Faiss_hnsw or Qdrant plus metadata. Note: the metadata were trained using extended material reprocessing, not just the article sources as they are on GitHub at the link above. The aim is to show the potential use of the articles as discussion base to integrate with your own material, inspired by the articles but with also access to the sources (see links above) when needed. As it is a demo, runs on a CPU-only space on Huggingface (it is free both for you and for me). If you have local hardware and would like to integrate with your own confidential material, look at the next link, download the model, and follow the instructions within the README.md
- _ downloadable AI model for the chatbot
- I posted online only the Q4_K_M.gguf version, which includes the LoRA/DoRA generated from the articles integrated with Qwen3.5-4B. The choice of the size and the format is to allow decent response times also on a PC with enough RAM but no GPU. The README.md contains also information and instructions on how to use the model and your own preferred AI to actually generate an application that, online or offline, integrates the information derived from the articles with your own local material- akin to having a limited edition of my services for free, i.e. what is provided by the articles, but available on-demand and with the possibility to integrate as much information as you want. The choice of the model is due to its architecture (see on Huggingface at the Qwen profile an explanation), ability to be multilingual (articles are mainly in English, with older material in Italian or both English and Italian), and possibility to extend to over 200,000 tokens the overall context- the demo space in the previous link is limited to a fraction of that, to avoid overusing the resources available, but if you have a computer with enough RAM and VRAM you can push it to the limit in your own application. Key suggestion for use: use the image embedded within the README.md as part of your instructions to an AI to generate and application; you can generate metadata by having an AI look at the GitHub article repository (but I used a different approach, of course), and then add also Chroma, Faiss_hnsw, Qdrant- or whatever you prefer, to allow metadata to be integrated in the preparation of the answers.

- Beside the chatbot and model built on articles, you will find also other models (downloadable), and in some cases just chatbots (without the downloadable model, as the model itself is set as "private"). The profile includes also tools that generated to ease the transition to Huggingface (e.g. a version of llama-cpp-python that compiled locally, as those available online did not support Qwen3.5, and the compilation process was too heavy for automated generation). Will keep adding models, chatbots, tools, and will revise the existing ones generally on a quarterly basis
