Creative Language Technologies
Creative Language Technologies explores the multifaceted aspects of this emerging field, at the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (STEMM) with the broader sector of Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts and Culture (HSSAC). The podcast aims to explore creative themes with social impact, revitalize technological imagination, and transform current practices of language technologies. New episodes, uploaded once or twice a month (usually on a Thursday), tackle diverse topics through stimulating interviews with experts in these fields.
