📢New publication!
🔎We investigated how students in #translation #languages #DigitalHumanities understand how #MT #AItranslation works.
💡We found they see differences but also similarities based on #misconceptions and #humanization of the technology, especially #LLMs #GenAI

I forgot I had Bluesky for a second (I should really do an intro here at some point, huh) but it was an absolute pleasure having you in Ghent. Really looking forward to future potential collaborations, and our students learned so much from the visit as well. Thank you again!
This week I had the pleasure of working with the final cohort of European Master in Tech for Tr & Int (EM-TTI students at Ghent University as well as chatting about research with the colleagues in LT3. A very stimulating week! Thanks so much to excellent hosts Lieve Macken & @jdaems.bsky.social
