Avatar systems as a semi-automatic translator

There is a huge amount of information (websites, TV, newspaper, radio, medicine leaflet, speaker announcements, etc.). There is a very low number of interpreters and translators for these information services. Therefore, Avatar systems have been developed that help human translators to create translations more quickly. Like any technology, using the avatar system will help it to improve its quality. The lecture deals with the advantages of avatar systems as a translation aid and also describes the development of the technology.

Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, digital central bank money: the future of financial transactions

Hardly any trend is discussed as intensively as cryptocurrencies. Influential personalities such as Elon Musk, Tesla boss, or Twitter and Square boss Jack Dorsey draw great attention to the topic. The corona pandemic has given further impetus to the discussion about digital means of payment and investments. But what exactly are cryptocurrencies and how do they work? How is the cryptocurrency sector developing and what role does Bitcoin play? Matthias Stommel, expert for cryptocurrencies, presents the technology and possible uses of cryptocurrencies. He also discusses the underlying blockchain technology.

Efficient product development with no-code / low-code technologies
