Research on Machine Translators and AI tools

Colleagues from the University of Defence,  Military Faculty of Medicine, invite you to take part in a research project comparing the quality of machine translators and AI tools in translating and proofreading specialised texts in medicine and pharmacy. They have developed a method for evaluating linguistic quality (semantic fidelity, terminology, grammar, and fluency), already applied in AI with very promising results, and now we seek your input.

The questionnaire is anonymous, and as a thank you, you will receive a special prompt instruction to test its effectiveness yourself. You may also leave your email if you wish to receive our future study results or join an expert discussion.
