Turun opiskelijakollegat ovat olleet voitokkaita. Onnittelemme!
Congrats to the winners of the first DGT EMT challenge:
Team TRANSLATORIO from the University of Turku.
Participating students were invited to imagine the perfect computer assisted translation environment. They could focus on the whole CAT environment or a single aspect, work individually or in teams and the format of their entry was up to their imagination and creativity.
A jury of DG Translation staff, EMT professors and industry representatives analysed the submissions. They were looking for projects that show a deep understanding of the CAT environment, including machine translation, and how AI could serve best the translator’s needs.
All contestants demonstrated a high level of awareness of state-of-the-art translation tools. However, there could only be one winner. Team Translatorio convinced the jury with VERSO – a Project Management tool based on machine learning as an integral part and support for decision-making.
The jury in particular mentioned the clarity of explanation supported by a very appealing PowerPoint presentation. A lot of thought and effort had clearly gone into the look-and-feel of the user interface. The jury also appreciated the ‘branding’ of the tool around the idea of a ‘sprout’ ('Verso' in Finnish) that will grow over time through machine learning.
If you want to learn more about the project and the students behind the winning team, tune into . The students will present live on 3 November 2021, as of 17.25. Don’t forget to register beforehand. Registration is open here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/events/2021TEF_en.
