From 7 to 9 April 2025, Prof. Dr. Christoph Rösener attended this year's JIAMCATT meeting (International Annual Meeting on Computer-Assisted Translation and Terminology) in Geneva as a representative of Department 06.
The annual JIAMCATT meeting was established as a working group of the International Annual Meeting on Language Arrangements, Documentations and Publications (IAMLADP) and enables members of various international universities and organizations to exchange ideas and collaborate in the field of computer-assisted terminology work, translation and interpreting.
The overarching theme of the JIAMCATT 2025 meeting was “Minds and Machines: Solving the Quality Puzzle”. In her opening address, Michelle Keating (Head of the UN Office for Language Services in Geneva) spoke about how, by focusing on practical implementation strategies and technical considerations, JIAMCATT member organizations can create robust systems in which human expertise and machine capabilities work together to improve quality while addressing the specific constraints of international organizations.
This was followed by presentations from some member organizations as well as workshops and panel discussions on various topics, including the impact of artificial intelligence on the future language tool market, computer-assisted quality assurance or the role of artificial intelligence and large language models for translation and interpreting.
Participation in the JIAMCATT meeting once again enabled Faculty 06 to take part in topical discussions and engage in a valuable exchange with other member organizations.
