Meeting Description:

International Workshop

NLP for translation and interpreting applications (NLP4TIA)

Varna, Bulgaria, 8 September 2023

https://nlp4tia.web.uah.es/

In the last two decades, we have been able to witness a technological
turn in translation and interpreting studies with Natural Language
Processing (NLP) and deep learning playing more and more prominent
part. There is already a growing number of NLP applications that are
used to support the work of translators and interpreters. In addition,
the recent advances in (and latest models of) deep learning have
powered the further development and success of high performing Neural
Machine Translation (NMT) systems.

Translation technology has revolutionised the translation profession
and nowadays most professional translators employ tools such as
translation memory (TM) systems in their daily work. Latest advances
of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) have resulted in NMT not only
becoming an integral part of most state-of-the art TM tools but also
typical for the translation workflow of many companies, organisations
and freelance translators.

Although translation has benefited more from technological advances,
interpreting has also experienced a technological turn. However, it
has not been until some years ago that soft technology has permeated
interpreting practice and research. Computer assisted translation, MT
and NLP tools have been adapted to be used by interpreters. In
addition, corpus-based studies have also underpinned dialogue
interpreting.

The increasing interest in NLP, MT and the automation of processes has
brought us to multidisciplinary projects that deal with the
development of models for automated oral communication. Machine
interpreting has already been developed and is being improved,
focusing on speed and accuracy matters. Either domain-specific
(commercial, military, humanitarian) or general (Skype Translator),
there is still a long way to go to render machine interpreting more
human-like.

Many of the above recent developments have to do with the employment
of Natural Language Processing tools and resources to support the work
of translators and interpreters. This workshop is expected to discuss
the growing importance of NLP in different translation and
interpreting scenarios.
