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.

    I am super happy to share that I co-authored 4 papers accepted at the #ACL2024NLP main conference!

    2 preprints already available about:
    -software quality in NLP:
    - speech translation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.12025

    Other preprints and more details coming soon!

    The day started with fantastic news: our 4 long papers have been accepted at the #ACL2024NLP main conference! And we have just released #opensource two new repos:
    - https://github.com/hlt-mt/pangolinn for unit testing your architectures
    - https://github.com/hlt-mt/subsonar to evaluate SRT quality
