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.
