The MLLP research group has joined efforts with 5 other research groups on machine learning and artificial intelligence at Universitat Politècnica de València to create vrAIn, the Valencian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
A new MLLP research project, “Multisub: Multilingual subtitling of classrooms and plenary sessions” (2019–2021), has been selected by the Government of Spain for funding under the 2018 Research Challenges call of the Societal Challenges R&D&I Programme 2017–2020.
The MLLP’s Prof. Alfons Juan has been an invited speaker at SCIC-Universities 2019 (SCIC 23; Brussels, 4–5 May 2019), the European Commission’s DG Interpretation annual conference.
