One week left until events kick off for #SIGDIALxINLG2023! You can still register to join us on-site in Prague or, if you can't make it all the way to Czechia, join us virtually!

Virtual registration is free, to enable as many people to join the conference as possible, so please share far and wide: https://sigdialinlg2023.github.io/

Launch of Translate Science https://blog.translatescience.org/launch-of-translate-science/

We are a new working group that wants to build tools to make #translations of scientific articles/reports/books, abstracts, titles and terms more accessible and (thus) stimulate the production of such translations.

#OpenAccess is naturally ideal, but being allowed to collect, analyse & publish their abstracts would already help a lot. #OpenAbstracts

We would be happy to scrape the abstracts from the web. Is there a group with good lawyers in the Open Community willing to stand up to the publisher & publish the abstracts? #PleaseBoost

Some claim abstracts are part of the EU Text & Data Mining exception for research. But the I4OA claims this is not allowed. https://i4oa.org
