DESCRIPTION:\n\nSilicon Valley oracle Tim O’Reilly once declared that “what
  new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customer
 s want done.” The latest\, and very powerful\, advances in machine transla
 tion are indeed a resource to be harnessed – intelligently\, advisedly and
  proactively – by language professionals looking to expand their arsenal o
 f marketable skills. Chief among these skills in this context is post-edit
 ing\, the process by which trained human translators revise and improve ma
 chine translation output.\n\nBut what exactly are the advantages of post-e
 diting from the point of view of individual translators and language servi
 ce providers? Does it lead to marked improvements in terms of process (pro
 ductivity and workflow)\, product (quality and consistency) and producer (
 job satisfaction and bottom line)? Are there specific areas where post-edi
 ting is particularly useful? What kind of standards and procedures can be 
 drawn on to guide\, facilitate and optimize post-editing work? And how can
  established and aspiring language professionals take advantage of these s
 ystems to propel their careers forward?\n\nCome be a part of the conversat
 ion\, as we sit down with three successful industry professionals and ask 
 them to weigh in on the perks of post-editing.\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n	6 p.m.: W
