Translation processes with large language models and AI – Webinar

Posted on: March 11th, 2024 by Frank Wöhrle No Comments

Large language models (LLMs) could prove to be valuable assets for linguists in the context of language processes.
But what exactly are the advantages of this technology?

Our MT expert Julian Hamm will address this and other important questions in the context of the “LLM Use Cases in Language Services” TechTalk by lingo systems and provide insights into the world of language technologies and CAT tool development.
Curious to learn more?

Navigating with AI as co-pilot – large language models in focus

Posted on: February 27th, 2024 by Frank Wöhrle No Comments

Few words have characterised the year 2023 as much as “AI”.
But what does this buzzword actually mean for translation and language processes? Has the time now come for the relatively new technology of neural machine translation (NMT) to take a step back, and for large language models (LLMs) to take centre stage?

Are you still typing or are you already prompting?

How does this change the way that professional translators work?
A human at the helm, AI as the co-pilot. But what exactly could this look like in day-to-day translation?
This will be the focus of our hour-long webinar.

Opportunities and challenges of large language models

Specifically, this involves the question of how these new language technologies can be used to optimise core processes in the translation industry, including quality assurancepost-editing and terminology management

In addition to discovering a strategic approach to prompt engineering , you will also, through a series of practical examples, learn how CAT tools must be set up in the future in order to optimally support language experts in their work.
Prior knowledge: Basic knowledge of CAT tools and machine translation

MT expertise from STAR

The speaker, Julian Hamm, who holds a masters in translation, has been working in the language services since 2018. In his role as Machine Translation Consultant at STAR Deutschland GmbH, he coordinates the implementation of MT-based workflows and delivers expert advise, both within STAR and to external clients, on the exciting topics of MT and language technologies.

Humans at the helm, AI as the co-pilot – curious to see what the future holds? Book your place for the tekom webinar under Veranstaltungen (tekom.de) and get on board on 14th March 2024 at 4.30 p.m. (CET). Please note that this webinar will be held in German only.
