Event: Symposium: Advancing Corpus-Based Interpreting Studies (ACIS 2025): Innovations, Applications, Theoretical Insights and AI Integration
Dates: 09-10 June 2025
Mode: Hybrid (On-site at Hong Kong Baptist University & Online via Zoom)
Focus: This symposium brings together researchers and scholars to explore cutting-edge developments in corpus-based interpreting studies (CBIS). Key themes include innovative methodologies, theoretical insights, and particularly the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), covering AI-enhanced interpreting systems, human-AI collaboration, and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technologies informed by corpora.
Abstract Submission Deadline: 12 May 2025 Notification of Acceptance: 15 May 2025
Registration: Free
Call for Proposals: We invite proposals for Individual Presentations (20 minutes presentation + 10 minutes Q&A) in English.
