Reflecting on his practical experience as a translator as well as his work developing dictionaries and encyclopedias, this book presents his contributions to translation technology alongside his efforts to establish techno-humanities as a vital research area. Ultimately, it argues that the integration of technology and humanities represents an inevitable and the embracing of techno-humanities as not just a common understanding, but a universal action and major trend.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of artificial intelligence and translation studies as well as academics in the history of science and technology.
