Dear colleagues, My name is Alessandra Teresa Cignarella, I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Language and Translation Technology Team (LT3) at Ghent University in Belgium. My research project is called RAINBOW [??] and I'm currently studying stereotypes about LGBTQIA+ people, particularly on social media, in online discourse, and in AI systems. We have developed a brief questionnaire to gather diverse perspectives from those who experience or recognize these stereotypes. Your participation will support the creation of a multilingual dataset (Italian, Dutch, and Farsi) aimed at improving the inclusivity and reducing the harm caused by AI technologies toward queer communities. Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+, are an ally, or are interested in this research area, your input is highly valued. Please find the questionnaire here:

* ITALIAN: https://lnkd.in/dfPuyT6j * DUTCH: https://lnkd.in/d-3Di7WY * FARSI: https://lnkd.in/dfvWzWCu

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at: alessandrateresa.cignarella@ugent.bemailto:alessandrateresa.cignarella@ugent.be

I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this survey with your contacts who speak any of these three languages. Thank you very much for your support! Best regards, Alessandra*
