Automatic Machine Translation

 

On October 19, 2012, InterACT director and Computer Science Professor Alex Waibel delivered a keynote address to the delegates of the European Parliament and to a conference of invited Presidents from European and non-European Universities on the subject of simultaneous interpretation by machine.  His lecture entitled "Simultaneous Machine Interpretation - Utopia?" was translated automatically by the team's lecture translation computer system into Spanish.  It was at the same time also interpreted by the European Parliament's human simultaneous interpreters into 24 languages of the European Community.  The lecture was delivered as part of a Rectors Conference organized by the European Directorate General for Interpretation and Conferences (further information, official page of the European Parliament).
