We are interested in hearing from anyone who is involved in the
teaching of Machine Translation (MT).
We are conducting a survey of resources and methods used in the
teaching of MT and are particularly interested to hear from those who
use, or would be interested in using, practical MT systems as a
teaching aid.
We are interested in your ideas, experience, needs, etc. etc., but in
the first place we are interested in knowing WHO YOU ARE.
Particular questions we will be addressing include what demand there
is for practical MT systems as a teaching aid, what commercial MT
systems are presently available, at what cost, etc. The report and
other results of the survey will be sent to everyone who replies.
Concrete outcomes may include some ideas about what how courses can be
structured, what teaching aids are available. If resources permit, we
may try to organize a workshop for face to face exhange of ideas.
Please pass this message on to anyone you think might be
interested. Apologies if you receive this multiple times.
This survey is partly sponsored by ELSNET.
