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.

    Weekly pick from the #MeetweenScientificWatch: “Video-SALMONN: Speech-enhanced audio-visual large language models” – Redefining video comprehension with speech-aware AV-LLMs and groundbreaking QA accuracy. 🎥🎤🤖

    I’m glad to announce that our work “How "Real" is Your Real-Time Simultaneous Speech-to-Text Translation System?” has been accepted at the Transactions of @aclanthology (TACL)! 🎉

    The preprint is available here:

    The new @iwslt shared task on instruction following speech models is out! Test sets will be available on the 1st of April and participants have to submit their models by April 15th. Check out the description for more info (or get in touch with us):

    📢First Call for Papers 📢
    The 22nd @iwslt event will be co-located with @aclmeeting
