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.

    🎙️ Two people. Two languages. One conversation! 
    No delays. No switching languages. No one is left out.

    This is what we are building.

    🎉 We’re very happy to welcome our new postdoc @LucaCorbucci , who will be working on multimodal LLMs.
    Looking forward to the exciting research ahead! 🚀

    @FBK_research

    Four years ago, NLLB set a milestone with MT for 200 languages. Today we present OMT: a family of models that extend support to 1600 languages while delivering competitive results in high/mid-resource language, with our 1B-8B models matching frontier and open 70B LLMs.
