Andrea Piergentili

PhD student

    Short bio

    Andrea Piergentili is a PhD student at the University of Trento and Fondazione Bruno Kessler, where he works in the Machine Translation unit.

    He obtained his BD and MD in modern languages at the University of L'Aquila.
    His research focuses on gender-inclusive language in machine translation (MT).
    This involves avoiding discriminatory practices, such as misgendering, stereotypical associations, and exclusionary language, as a way to make MT fair and inclusive of all gender identities.

    ⭐ For our #PickOfTheWeek, this paper explores an important question for modern speech AI:

    🎙️ Which Evaluation for Which Speech Model?
    👥 Authors: @Maureendss , @EeshanDhekane

    Speech foundation models are evolving rapidly, but evaluation practices are still fragmented.

    🏝️ Yesterday at #LREC2026, Palma de Mallorca!
    @lina_conti presented "Voice, Bias, and Coreference: An Interpretability Study of Gender in Speech Translation" at the poster session.
