Human–AI interactions in interpreting and translation

Under the theme "Human–AI interactions in interpreting and translation", several cutting-edge projects have been conducted since the year of 2020, such as: Leveraging AI technologies in automatic assessment of interpreting; Multimodal processing of AI-generated live captioning for speeches in simultaneous interpreting; Ethical issues in the application of AI-powered machine translation. The research outputs have been published in world-leading journals, such as:
