Course Description
This course reviews state-of-the-art technology in translation. In addition to Translation Memory, which allows users to leverage existing data, deep learning technologies have allowed Machine Translation to achieve fully automatic translations for some genres of writing. The course will include an extensive practical component using these technologies in addition to exploring assessment of Machine Translation quality, emerging possibilities and issues. In addition to these, the use of the World Wide Web, Web-based translation aids and other applications for producing rapid, localized and high-quality translation are discussed.
