AppTek Bring AI-Powered Workflow Ideas to Nov. 5th Smart Content Summit EU

Dr. Volker Steinbiss, managing director of applications technology for AppTek, has been in speech research since 1985 and has devoted his career to advancing language technologies.

So when he takes the stage at the 5th Nov. Smart Content Summit EU for the session “Accelerating Workflows with Language Technology” — which will look at how AI-powered advancements in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and neural machine translation (NMT) technologies are transforming workflows inside the industry with captioning and subtitling — attendees will know they’re coming away with something.

“I’ll be providing examples of how we turn technology into commercial assets specifically in the M&E field and by attending the MESA event I hope to have discussions and gain further insights into the customer needs — my audience’s needs — so we can provide customised technology solutions to them,” Steinbiss said. “One of the latest examples is how we can use metadata to make automatic translations custom-fit.”

Along with presenting a white paper at the session, Steinbiss will share how companies achieve better business performance and results with language technology.

“It’s all about customisation these days, so as to deliver better business performance and results,” he said. “At AppTek we are focused at delivering customised solutions for our M&E clients. Using metadata for customisation in MT is the latest trend in the language technology market, and metadata is a hot topic these days and AI can use it to make automatic translations custom-fit.”
