LEXYTRAD

Research Group "Lexicography and Translation"

Since 2020, the LEXYTRAD research group has been working on the MI4ALL project. Taking advantage of current advances in AI, an automatic interpretation software platform that combines deep learning and corpus linguistics to facilitate public services for foreigners and immigrants is being developed, allowing them to communicate in a language in which they are fluent. This tool will improve the services and well-being of its users. More details about the project and its current state can be found in the following link: https://andaluciatech.org/ecosistema-innovador/proyectos-singulares/salud-y-bienestar-social/mi4all-machine-interpretation.
