Workshop 'Using chatbots and automatic translation for research writing'

Automatic translators undoubtedly make the life of an EAL writer easy. But sometimes the results are far from being desired. At the workshop, you will learn how to refine the results and produce an accurate English text using AI-based tools. The speaker will present a protocol for translating research papers. Make sure you have a Russian text handy to try some steps of the protocol. We will also widen the range of prompts to improve English output. Be prepared to “play” with the tools and discuss effective ways to use chatbots as your translating assistants. Hopefully, the skills you’ll get will lead to minimizing the need for native English speaker review.
