The impact of ChatGPT on the field of lexicography &c.
Gilles-Maurice de Schryver
Dear colleagues,
Apologies for the self-promotion ;-)
Next week Monday 27 February, David Joffe and myself will discuss the impact of ChatGPT on the field of lexicography. The seminar will take place in Tokyo and will also be streamed online. It is open to all, but registration is necessary to obtain the Zoom link. See http://codh.rois.ac.jp/seminar/lexicography-chatgpt-20230227/.
We start at 17:30 Tokyo time, which corresponds to 9:30 in Brussels, 10:30 in Cape Town, 19:30 in Sydney (but sadly 3:30 in the morning in New York, 5:30 in Brasilia).
This presentation kick-starts a week in which I will talk on various lexicographic aspects of the future, the full list is below.
Hope to see you (virtually) at one of them.
With all good wishes,
Gilles-Maurice de Schryver.
