@chiaramanna.bsky.social focusing on gender disambiguation in MT at #GITT2025

@chiaramanna.bsky.social presenting her first paper @gitt-workshop.bsky.social 🥳 So proud of the hard work she’s put into it 😊!

On the cover: “Sur Incise / On Intersection”: Seeing through layers “Sur Incise” draws us in with fractured surfaces—blocks of ochre, navy, yellow, and green, colliding with purpose. Its title, referencing Boulez's composition and the act of cutting, hints at fragmentation and ambiguity. At the painting's center lies a human figure—nude, abstracted, shifting between identities. Visible in color but elusive in form, it invites questions: what remains unseen when language fails us? This visual tension mirrors findings from Savoldi et al.'s study on gender bias in machine translation, where systems default to binaries and overlook intersectionality. Just as the painting resists clear categorization, translation models struggle with identities that do not conform to fixed labels—flattening complexity and erasing nuance. “Sur Incise” offers no singular reading. Gender, like color, is layered, mutable. The figure is not absent—only obscured. To perceive it, we must move beyond rigid categories and accept that some meanings are felt rather than defined.Image credit: Picture of the painting “Sur Incise / On Intersection” 2025.

Our June issue is now live! www.cell.com/patterns/iss...

On the cover is an artwork from Dirk Vanmassenhove that the artist feels evokes findings in a study on gender bias also published in this issue. "Gender, like color, is layered, mutable," he writes.
