Spela,
I saw your ad for the summer school (on Facebook), thanks for letting me know. If next year you’re looking for a lecturer I would be happy to participate: after I left JRC, I joined WIPO (Un Agency), I am now specialized in machine translation (using open source Moses).
UN translators in New York are now using in production our tool built on Moses (languages: ar-en-es-fr-ru-zh), Wipo Patent Machine Translation is now one of the best freely available tool for languages like en-fr-zh-ja-de…
All the best for the summer school,
Bruno
Thanks Bruno! This is a great idea and you would be an enormous enrichment to TransTech! Will keep you in mind, in the mean time thanks for the support!
