Teaching disciplines

  • Machine Translation: Technical basics of phrase-based statistical and neural MT; training, implementation and quality assurance of MT engines, pre- and post-editing
  • Specialised Communication Technology: Technical basics and pratical implementation of various tools of specialised communication technology
  • Formal Languages with Relevance for Specialised Communication: XML, regular expressions, Python
  • Specialised Translation: Science and technology and information technology; administration and technological support of specialised translation projects
  • Translation Studies: Corpus-based translation studies; cognitive translation studies

Research fields

  • Machine Translation: Performance and quality evaluation of neural MT in the context of specialised translation
  • Specialised Communication Technology: Usability of tools of specialised communication technology
  • Translation Didactics: Strategies and resources for teaching the technical basics of neural MT to translation students; impact of neural MT on translation didactics
  • Specialised Translation: Situated cognition in the specialised translation process (situated translation); impact of tools of specialised communication technology on the computer-assisted translation process
  • DataLitMT – Teaching Data Literacy in the Context of Machine Translation Literacy
    This project aims to develop didactic resources for teaching data literacy to students of BA programmes in translation/LSP communication. With regard to the core subject matter of such BA programmes, the project develops didactic resources which can be used to teach the various sub-competencies outlined in Ridsdale et al.’s (2015) Data Literacy Competencies Matrix in their translation-specific form of Machine Translation Literacy.
