‘Language in the Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) welcomes everyone interested in the impact of new and emerging language technologies that integrate with human senses. Whether you are a tech developer who wants to learn more about linguistics, or a linguist who wants to know more about tech, we want to hear from you! You can find out more about our themes of interest from our published forecast report (https://doi.org/10.17011/jyx/reports/20210518/1) and our animations (https://lithme.eu/animations). Funding is available to people in European countries and in countries neighbouring Europe (see https://www.cost.eu/about/strategy/cost-global-networking/). Self-funded applicants from any country are also welcome, with no registration fee.
LITHME’s overall aim is to prepare for imminent changes in the way we use technology to communicate. From immersive augmented reality to super-intelligent chatbots, in the near future we will be communicating in very different ways. This will present significant challenges for all areas of linguistics and language research; meanwhile, developers need insights from linguistic research to improve the technologies themselves. So we must all adapt. Our fully funded training school is open to any eligible researcher or practitioner who is interested in exploring these timely topics. We welcome experienced developers, but no technological expertise is required, only an interest in exploring the possible effects of these near-future advances in language technology. More information about eligibility, and the online application form, can be found at https://lithme.eu/training-school-2024/<https://lithme.eu/training-school/>. The deadline for applications is Tuesday 19 Dec 2023, 12:00 CET. Please forward this email on to anyone who may be interested, and please repost the announcement here: https://twitter.com/LgHumanMachine/status/1724750085907484672 https://bsky.app/profile/lghumanmachine.bsky.social/post/3ke7xbuozl22k We hope to see you in Hradec Králové!
