San Sebastián: AI makes municipal text more understandable
A language model helps translate Basque municipal text into simpler language; a human checks the final version.
About
The Orai research centre is developing a system for the new San Sebastián website that uses a language model to convert Basque text into a more understandable version. The system simplifies the language and gives the text a clearer structure, making municipal information more accessible to people who struggle with complex language. The source is clear about the boundary: after the automatic editing, manual checking is required to maintain quality, appropriateness, and fidelity to the original content. The development has thus been demonstrated; a measured effect on residents has not yet been published.
AI factor
A language model produces a first version in simpler language. A human editor checks that the meaning and usefulness are preserved.
