Inaugural lecture.

We have the pleasure of inviting you to the inaugural lecture of Adjunct professor Svetlana Sheremetyeva, Department of International Language Studies and Computational Linguistics.

Programme

14.00 Welcome by CBS President Finn Junge-Jensen

14.15 “On Portability of Resources for a quick Ramp up of Multilingual MT”.

The presentation is devoted to the issues of speeding up the development of high-quality machine translation systems. The approach is illustrated on the example of APTrans - a multilingual MT system for patent domain.

15.00 After the inaugural lecture, The Department of International Language Studies and Computational Linguistics will host a reception in the Faculty Club.

The main focus of interest of Dr. Sheremetyeva’s research is in designing and acquiring the knowledge for natural language processing in a variety of natural languages. But her research interests range even wider and include several areas of natural language processing - notably, but not exclu¬sively, sublanguage analy¬sis, machine translation, multilingual text generation, information retrieval, text summarization and knowledge elicitation.

For several years Dr. Sheremetyeva has been a highly valuable contact person in CBS’s international collaboration with Southern Ural State University, not only by taking on advanced courses at the CBS, but also in pursuing the ambitious goal of developing a Danish-English-Russian machine translation system.
