Welcome to the Quantitative Translation Research Lab
Nestled within the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies and the Centre of Translation at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, our lab is at the forefront of adopting quantitative and empirical approaches to translation. We employ cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence to deepen our understanding and practice of translation.
We are passionate about exploring corpus-based methodologies, which allow us to analyze large datasets and identify emerging patterns in translation.
Our Commitment
Our commitment extends into the realm of translation teaching, where we integrate the latest technological advances to enhance educational outcomes.
The lab's research focuses on several key areas:
Our Research Focus
- AI in Translation: Developing and applying artificial intelligence tools to streamline and enhance translation processes.
- Corpus-Based Studies: Utilizing extensive text corpora to study translation patterns and improve methodologies.
- Empirical Translation Research: Investigating the effectiveness and strategies of translation through systematic empirical methods.
- Technological Pedagogy: Enhancing translation education through the integration of innovative technologies.
- Cross-Cultural Communication: Examining the nuances of multilingual and cross-cultural interactions within translation contexts.
Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute significantly to the field of translation and prepare our students to excel in a globally connected world.
