Topic:

Over the course of a few years, we have observed significant improvements in the quality of machine translation systems. In this panel discussion we would like to ask our panelists if they think this improvement is resulting in a shift from computer-assisted translation to human-aided translation. Together with them, we would like to explore what would this transformation mean for the technology, academia and industrial applications of the MT technology.
