Iztok Kosem presented ELEXAI at the 23rd #EURALEX Congress in Vienna, with the fitting theme Lexicography in the Age of AI. If you are a lexicographer, you can get involved with the ELEXAI project by filling out this survey on lexicographic practices involving AI systems: lnkd.in/e4y-pTsJ

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐋𝐌𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬" At Language Technologies and Digital Humanities conference, Anna Vacalopoulou showed that there are ample opportunities for lexicographers in the age of AI: dictionaries and LLMs can inform each other. Lexicographers are key players in creating quality data.

A double interview this time for the INTRODUCING ELEXAI series: We have Lydia Risberg and Jelena Kallas from the Eesti Keele Instituut (EKI) in Tallinn, Estonia!
