User Event 2021

On 18.11.2021 we had our final GoURMET user event focussing on prototypes and results for journalists and the media industry! If you watch our recording (see below) you can find out about our learnings. You get insights about machine translation in low-resource language domains from the research partners (University of Edinburgh, Universitat d’Alacant, University of Amsterdam) and we showcased our output including live demos from BBC and Deutsche Welle. You are more than welcome to watch the video of the Final User Event.

Recording (1,5 hours) of the user event. Please watch here.
