Workshop "Smart technologies and research writing"

At this workshop, we will discuss current opportunities for a wider use of machine-assisted human translation technologies and other smart instruments in the field of research writing. At the present stage of technology development, these instruments offer a number of advantages to both researchers and specialists working with research texts. These include the facility to skim and scan large amounts of information in foreign languages, as well as to act as digital dictionaries, thesauri, and encyclopedias. We will discuss modern tools for terminology search and verification, effective computer-assisted translation systems, and smart dictionaries. Participants will be offered practical examples and useful assignments. The workshop could be of interest to Ph.D. students, researchers, translators, and those interested in various aspects of research writing.
