Annual Conference 2023 Speakers
04 - 06 October 2023
Salt Lake City, UT (USA)
"Uber's Localization journey: Embracing touch-less translation through MT and Human-AI collaboration."
"Utilizing LLMs for automating the quality estimation of Machine Translation".
"It is an understatement to say that we are at an inflection point for AI and translation. Realizing this potential will require open dialogue to build trust, set expectations, and shape how these technologies integrate responsibly into our work."
"The question of what impact GenAI will have on what and how we translate in the future can best be answered by looking at what we don’t and do know; we don’t know how much can we trust the output, or if it will take our jobs away, or what the risk are – but what we do know is we want to adopt it as fast as we can!"
"The shift towards an MT-first-and-only scenario in translation profoundly impacts workflows, quality control, and post-editors' roles. As MT quality improves, there's an increase in content translated without budget increments, sparking higher demand for translations in more languages. Customer data, alongside AI-based technologies, helps continually refine MT systems, turning MT from a competitor into a collaborator and enhancing, not replacing, human expertise."
“Discover how collaboration between LLMs and human translators enables the best of both worlds for quality evaluation".
"Generative AI brings the potential to translation & localization, yet effective integration demands cautious optimism amid the industry's hype."
“Clean, intelligent, responsible data is the cornerstone to the advanced use cases emerging in this new AI paradigm. It’s critical that LLM outputs reflect not just who we are, but also what we’re trying to become.”
"As the use of generative AI tools for text generation proliferates, enterprise localization programs will need to develop observability tools and processes to ensure that they're not just buying ChatGPT output."
"As generative AI evolves, it is critical to remain nimble and continuously innovate to accommodate developing use cases. Welocalize’s technology-agnostic strategy allows us to put clients first and integrate the best tools and processes for their needs."
"L10N and G11N are two sides of a coin: one focuses in, while the other pans out. Both imply connection, yet we crave it more than ever. Modern communicators must bridge the gap between what tech gives and what it takes."
"The ultimate test for tech companies in the wake of GenAI lies in our ability to design intuitive, flexible tools - it will be the deciding factor for how lang loc teams adapt, succeed and survive in this next era."
"AI, in combination with human annotators, has the power to transform data generation. We can produce fresh high quality data with less effort and close the data gaps, enabling the training of even more powerful and capable AI models."
"A vital factor for producing quality AI-driven MT concerns the LLM training data’s characteristics. To enhance the utility of resources for model training, we apply a multi-layer cross-lingual approach, incorporating typical linguistic patterns in meticulously constructed monolingual datasets, which can extend multilingually."
"Creating structures that incorporate LLMs for every L10n structure is continuing at an exponential rate, is there a comfortable limit?"
"Exciting times for language technology, as text and speech processing are merging ever closer and address challenges in a multilingual world."
“The recent rise of LLMs and their emerging capabilities has sparked the temptation to utilize them for translations. Research has demonstrated, though, that LLMs perform on par with NMT when it comes to segment-level translation. Their true contribution lies in tackling linguistically complex tasks that have traditionally been reserved for human translators".
“Gen AI and localization are two wings of the same bird. Together, they form a powerful combination that will help us soar to new heights of prosperity and equitability for everyone."
“Although LLMs have the potential to change the language industry in remarkable ways, we at memoQ remain positive about the future of purpose-designed CAT tools in our chosen target markets".
"Showcasing that GenAI can become a useful tool to simplify the current Linguistic Quality Assessment workflow."
"The innovation today is that new models can repurpose content to target audiences that differ in more ways than just the language they speak. The innovation tomorrow is how to build automated content pipelines and use these models quickly and without effort in a world where these target audiences are also ever changing."
"The AI revolution is reshaping the translation and localization industry, amplifying efficiency & accuracy, bridging global communication with technological synergy."
"Translation out of the wall! The TAUS vision of 2005 is becoming a reality, finally. Now, what's next? Let's use it, smartly, not blindly, to make the world a better place."
"Localization is still challenging but Generative AI is making significant strides in modernizing and improving it. Any company using old methods is at risk to be 'Lost in Translation' on this industry."
“LLMs are not just another MT solution, but an opportunity to fundamentally change the way we think about linguistic and quality workflows.”
"AI-Enhanced Localization: A Gateway to Elevated Quality, Efficiency, and Cost Savings. Delve into the future of global expansion, as AI revolutionizes content analysis, translation, quality assurance, and content creation. Embrace streamlined processes and optimized resources for maximum impact."
"Showcasing how organizations can now make sure their localized content is inclusive and appropriate through AI-powered quality assurance checks and thus safeguard their brand image in their global markets."
"Are LLMs giving us the next quality jump in MT quality? We’ll find out what the MT gurus of the large online and open source providers think."
"AI in the localization supply chain. Learn how we will support customer needs across content creation, transcreation, and QA with humans setting the guardrails."
"Unlock Global Growth with AI Localization: Our integrated AI solutions redefine end-to-end localization. Seamlessly analyzing, translating, assuring quality, and generating content, we offer the ultimate solution for your global expansion."
