Lynne Bowker

Machine Translation

Lynne Bowker is a Full Professor at the University of Ottawa, where she holds a cross-appointment between the School of Translation and Interpretation and the School of Information Studies. She earned a PhD in Language Engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in the UK, and she is also a certified French-English translator. Recently, she has been exploring the use of translation technologies by non-translators in an effort to discover what type of information average people need to become savvy users of machine translation in the age of artificial intelligence. You can read some of her thoughts on this topic in her recent book Machine Translation and Global Research.

Programming with Python (in English)

Fabrizio Donzelli is Replacement Assistant Professor in Mathematics at the University of Ottawa, where he is currently teaching second year Mathematics courses for Engineers. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Miami, Florida. He started his career as a researcher in the field of Algebraic Geometry, a pure area of Mathematics. Recently, he made a switch and began working on mathematical models applied to Geophysics. During this experience in the area of applied mathematics, he had to learn how to use programming languages to implement his mathematical results, and he became really passionate about it. He has taught Mathematics for more than 10 years, and he is looking forward to start a new line of teaching, directed to an audience with different background.
