Beatrice Savoldi will present one of her recent work
entitle “Hi Guys or Hi folks? Navigating Gender Bias and Inclusive Language in Translation Technologies”.
Abstract
Societal gender asymmetries and inequalities can be embedded in our communication practices and perpetuated in language technologies, including Machine Translation (MT) systems used as scale. In this presentation, we will delve into the current landscape of MT and gender bias, as well as current proposals towards more inclusive language.
By focusing on English-Italian as an exemplar language pair, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities — both theoretical, technical but also linguistic — in fostering a more equitable automatic translation.
