@DrFantinuoli I guess it's a matter of perspectives ;) I tend to think of it as making use of known categories and building on them. Especially since "proper" translation is still (?) a core component of the curriculum
@DrFantinuoli Do they the potential to become excellent excellent "data/MT specialists"? Absolutely yes. Speaking of course from an educator perspective... And one who believes that evolution happens in a flow, rather than in bursts ;) 3/3
@DrFantinuoli these are jobs that a person with a translation background (and some training/willingness to learn) can in fact excel at. Would a wannabe translator be drawn to a Master's training "data/MT specialists"? Not sure. 2/3
@DrFantinuoli Thanks @DrFantinuoli, always great to get your feedback and hear your thoughts. I agree that (some of) these professions are "new", in the sense that they encompass tasks and required skills that are far from what we traditionally conceive of as a translator's job. However 1/3
Save the date: 18 October! Free event celebrating Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) and the work of Alan Partington. With talks by @TonyMcEnery @_paulbaker_ Alan Partington Alison Duguid @diegoli_eugenia Daniele Polizzi https://t.co/j3VYIQWewd #corpuslinguistics

Se l’#IA è in grado replicare il funzionamento generativo dell’intelligenza umana è necessario chiedersi: Quale tipo di “umani” ne sono la fonte? A quali immaginari attinge per crearne di nuovi? A quali linguaggi e #stereotipi, sistemi etici?
