Abstract
The CRITICS project addresses science accessibility and literacy through the convergence of advanced Machine Translation (MT) based on Large Language Models (LLMs) and educational technology. By leveraging MT systems specifically optimized for scientific content, educational institutions can provide accurate, culturally relevant translations of scientific materials in higher-education students’ native languages, ensuring that complex scientific concepts are comprehensible while maintaining technical accuracy. Novel research on MT specifically tailored for scientific documents aims to break down language barriers in accessing cutting-edge research and educational materials currently only available in high-resourced languages such as English, thereby facilitating the democratization of scientific knowledge across linguistic boundaries.- Anthology ID:
