🤖 AI agents are everywhere—but what about Machine Translation (MT)?
Thrilled to have a new paper accepted at @mtsummit2025.bsky.social, exploring multi-agent systems for MT.
Better quality, context, and domain adaptation.

Spoke at La antesala de Babel @ Comillas today on “The Translation of the Future: Language Engineering, LangOps & AI”.
Loved the energy in the room. I saw students shifting from scepticism to curiosity about language tech. The future of language engineers is looking bright!

Excited to speak next week at Universidad Comillas in Madrid on the (not-so-distant) future of translation, LangOps, and AI.
My goals:
- What should we do to stay ahead (or, at least, keep up the pace) of technological progress?
- How to do this with a human-centered perspective?

Localisation Guest Talks – Day 4
We closed the series with Róisín Twomey, Content Program Manager at Microsoft (Packaging Team), who showed us what gets localised—from hardware to UX—and what can vs cannot go wrong.
A great end to an inspiring series!

Last week I gave a 5h session at Universidad Complutense de Madrid on MT & AI-driven translation tools.
Goal? Show that Python isn’t the enemy — it’s a superpower.
We played with Whisper, SeamlessM4T, Groq API & stats in Colab.
Outcome? A few more language engineers in the making!

Excited to be heading to Soria (Universidad de Valladolid) next week.
I’ll be talking about human-centered, augmented machine translation — and whether it’s a utopia or actually a feasible way forward for language technologies.
Hopefully, I'll have the chance to try those famous "torreznos" 🤩

Last day in Valencia before heading back to Dublin, aka the North Pole! ❄️
🏃♂️ Can you think of a better plan than running 15k along the beach during sunrise at 18 °C? I certainly can't! 🌅
Feeling recharged and ready to tackle the semester ahead with a fresh mindset and full energy!

My PhD is now published, and introduces Human-Centered, Agumented Machine Translation (HCAMT)—an approach to build MT tools that empower users.

The accepted proposals are outstanding. Rejections do not mean that the quality was not good, but that the overall score by reviewers did not meet the threshold. We still have a reserve list.

I spoke at ATII’s "Starting Out as a Translator” event last week.
Key takeaway? Tech has always disrupted industries (not just translation—think Cursor in software engineering).
What matters is how we adapt. The role of the language engineer is key to thriving in this AI-driven era.
