I’m delighted to see that the book I co-edited with @HelenaMoniz5 is finally here published by @SpringerSocSci! What a way to start the weekend! This is our humble contribution to the discussion on responsible Machine Translation.

New day, new week, new job! London, off I go for my onboarding! Truly excited for this new adventure! (Not moving to London, just a short trip!)

CfP. "Human-centeredness in translation: Advancing Translation Studies in a Human-Centered AI era". InContext Journal. Editor: Miguel A. Jiménez-Crespo. English abstract deadline: Sept 15th, 2024. Submission via email (300-350 words). Full paper: Nov 15th, 2024. May 2025 online.

The revolution we are experiencing has great things and not so great things. This thread by @mmitchell_ai is very good to understand OpenAI Sora at a high level and reflect on what is not great from a social perspective. A must read!

📢#EAMT2023 proceedings @ https://t.co/vtipVAJs6Q High quality work published by members of our community! A massive thank you to our amazing track chairs @CParraEsc Mara Nunziatini @sergiavidal Nora Aranberri @Evanmassenhove @TharinduDR @HelenaMoniz6 @ForcadaMikel #NLProc

Last week I had the pleasure to share my journey from Academia to Industry with an amazing audience. Thanks @DREAL_ie for having us and good luck with your future careers to all attendees!

Happy to announce our chapter titled "The Ethics of Machine Translation Post-editing in the Translation Ecosystem" has been published! Co-authored with @celiaricoperez Many thanks to the editors, @CParraEsc and @HelenaMoniz5 https://t.co/tiX4ECp2e5

I am very happy that today I received my ecopy of the Springer book "Towards Responsible Machine Translation" edited by @HelenaMoniz5 and @CParraEsc featuring the joint work @Evanmassenhove and I did on the ecological impact of MT!

A lot remains to be researched, discussed and shared, but this certainly will start many of those discussions and research ideas. Or at least that’s our intention! #machinetranslation #ethicsinNLP #ethicsinAI #translation #postediting #responsibleMT #responsibleAI

@federicobianchy, @t_fornaciari, @dirk_hovy, @debora_nozza, @DShterionov, @Evanmassenhove, Isabel Trancoso, @fsepteixeira, @mcbotelho_ and Alberto Abad. THANK YOU! Your contributions, dedication and patience to see this come out are outstanding!

@WesselReijers, @quinndupont @alexnousias, @MikelForcada, Miguel Lacruz Mantecón, @celiaricoperez, @Delmartrad, @AnaGuerberof, @Jossmo, @FMFederici, @chrisdec71, @JorgeDiazCintas, @rbanospi

And the biggest kudos go to all our amazing authors, who contributed 10 chapters in their areas of expertise: ethics, legal, gender bias, ecological footprint, users, crises and speech. This wouldn’t have been possible without you!

There are many people to thank, starting by @SharonNiBhriain for sparking the first discussion, @tarfandy for inviting us to work on it and supporting us along the way as senior editor, and our affiliations @unbabel, the University of Lisbon and @Language_Weaver for their support

New book chapter by @AnaGuerberof and I on Ethics and Machine Translation: The End User Perspective is out now! From @HelenaMoniz5 and @CParraEsc's great new book Towards Responsible Machine Translation https://t.co/vzgtjSffxt Abstract in image alt text!

Introducing our keynote speakers at #EAMT2023! First up is Lynne Bowker @bowkerl, Full Professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada with a strong track record of researching translation technologies and their users. See her full bio here: https://t.co/oy0aSSG1tn

Greatly enjoyed writing this chapter on the Ethics of Machines Translation with @quinndupont, in the wonderfully edited book by @CParraEsc and @HelenaMoniz5 (open access). Even more relevant now, with the arrival of #ChatGPT https://t.co/lak2mQhZDu

Great news about @EAMT_2023! If you thought you didn’t have enough time, here come some good news! The deadline for submissions was extended until March, 10th! Come join us to discuss anything related to MT! Whatever your expertise is, I’m sure it fits in one of the tracks!

Calling everyone that works on/with MT out here! Do you do research? There’s a research track! Are you a user? There’s a user track! And this year there is also a use cases and implementations track that I have the pleasure of co-chairing! We look forward to your contributions!

In case you missed it or forgot: The EAMT 2023 conference on #MachineTranslation will take place 12 to 15 June 2023 in Tampere, Finland. Welcome to Tampere! https://t.co/ntXoLxzDNd

Yesterday I had the pleasure to participate in a round table on translation technologies celebrating @RevTradumatica’s 20th anniversary. Thanks @tradumata & @celiaricoperez for the invitation, and thanks to @JJ_Arevalillo, @localizing & Daniel Marin for insights and discussion!
