Machine Translation – What do translation scholars need to know? A conversation with Noah Smith Please join the Simpson Center Translation Studies GRC for a conversation with UW professor and Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence researcher Noah Smith about machine translation and translation scholarship on Friday, February 8, 3:30-4:30 pm in the Simpson Center Seminar Room (CMU #226) This is a conversation, not a presentation, so please bring your questions and experiences. Are you interested in translation as scholarship at the UW? Join us! We are hosting three featured-speaker events and monthly meetups for UW translation scholars. Share information about your own translation work and research on our Facebook page. If you’d like to join our email listserv please email Katie King (ktking2@uw.edu). The cluster promotes translation as a valued form of scholarship in its own right as advocated by the Modern Language Association’s 2007 report on evaluating translation for tenure and promotion, and the MLA’s 2011 guidelines for peer review of translation as scholarship. Our goal is to spark a conversation that will lead to greater opportunities for translation scholarship, including the possible creation of translation certificates or degrees. |
