‘Language in the Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) welcomes everyone interested
in the impact of new and emerging language technologies. 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! Funding is available to people in European
countries and in countries neighbouring Europe (see
https://www.cost.eu/about/cost-strategy/cost-global-networking/). Self-funded
applicants from any country are also welcome.
Our aim is to prepare everyone 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 who is interested
to explore 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.
We're currently planning for this to be held in person. We really hope the Covid
situation allows that! But if not, we will arrange a high quality online event.
More information about eligibility, and the online application form, can be found at
https://lithme.eu/training-school/. The deadline for applications is Friday 14
January, 2022.
Please forward this email on to anyone who may be interested, and please retweet the
announcement here: https://twitter.com/LgHumanMachine/status/1466779213835509766
We hope to see you in Porto!
Best wishes,
Dave (on behalf of the training school organising committee)
