New Project Spotlight
🤖 Metaphors in Machine Translation by Dr. @agdorst, Centre for Linguistics.
Translating metaphors is not a ‘piece of cake’ for machine translation systems like Google Translate. 🍰

[Lettie Dorst @agdorst]

It was a pleasure to share our findings! We feel that with GenAI it’s getting harder for students to distinguish between what is typically human and what is typically machine, perhaps because the mind is a computer is a mind… 🤔

[Marie-Aude Lefer @marieaudelefer]
