It's actually the present Dec 3, 2009

Microsoft has been using MT to translate its Knowledge Base articles into Spanish since 2003. If that was the future of translation, I'm afraid the present is that future, or rather, the future predicted in that past is not the present, and probably not the near future either. This is why people have trouble following movies about time travel.

Back to the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution: Man as a servant to Machines - what a bright future! Haven't our grandparents (and maybe even our parents) had enough of that?

Summary:
The majority of development work and deployment of machine translation (MT) technologies over the past several decades have been for international languages. Only a few projects for low-data/low-density/low resource/sparse-data/less-prevalent/lesser-commonly taught/minority languages have led to successful prototypes and products. There are a certain number of technical, logistical, social, educational and other factors which influence and impact the potential success of implementing systems for such languages. This talk will cover many of the lessons learned from previous projects, and some of the pitfalls to avoid. It will also demonstrate how the recent efforts for making Haitian Creole available for Haiti Disaster Relief had a certain level of success in record time because of the ability to build upon previous work. Yet, there were also obstacles which have been problematic and remain a concern for this language and for other less-prevalent languages.
Lastly, the discussion will mention some ways to enable proactive, forward thinking projects, using some bootstrapping methods, to reduce the risk of situations which can result from working in a primarily reactive mode.

This will be an interactive dialogue with the audience, including question/answer time.
