The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Surrey
invites applications for a place in our stand-alone course on
“Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Translators and
Interpreters”. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications in the field of
translation and interpreting. The course covers a wide range of topics,
from the basic concepts of AI to more advanced areas and techniques
including machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and LLM
leveraging and customisation of automatic speech recognition (ASR)
engines. Students will be taught different prompting techniques which
allows them to interact with LLMs like ChatGPT, so they can develop
advanced problem-solving skills.
Students will tackle AI-related tasks that are relevant in the fields of
translation and interpreting, such as machine translation, customisation
of ASR engines and the use of machine assistance in tasks requiring
creativity skills (e.g. transcreation). They will also explore the
ethical implications of AI and the potential impact of AI on the future
of the language industry.
The module is offered in synchronous online mode. The module will run
for 11 weeks starting on 23^rd September. The tentative time slot is
Tuesdays, 4-6pm UK time. You can find more details about the module and
