Professor Andy Way, Deputy Director of the ADAPT Centre and Professor of Computing at DCU, has been selected as the winner of the Award of Honour from the prestigious International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT).
The award was presented to Professor Way at a ceremony at the world’s largest machine translation conference, the MT Summit, which took place last week in DCU. Delivering the commendation, President of the IAMT, Professor Mikel Forcada said:
“Professor Andy Way is one of the leaders in machine translation research worldwide. He has published an abundance of peer-reviewed conference and journal papers about many different aspects of machine translation, which are widely cited. During the last 25 years, he has built and leads here, at Dublin City University, one of the strongest machine translation groups in the world, a group which is now part of the ADAPT Centre where he is deputy director, and which has attracted top researchers and a large number of Irish and European projects, some of which he has led personally. During these years, 24 of his students have successfully defended their PhD theses, many of which work for prestigious academic institutions or leading companies in the field.”
