# Zurich Language AI Meetup

Get ready for the 21st edition of our community event for language AI and NLP experts and enthusiasts.

🧠 **3 straight-to-the-point talks** by experienced experts
🥂 **Casual networking** over drinks and snacks
🎟 **Capacity:** 100 seats

**Schedule**
6:30 pm – Doors open and registration
7:00 pm – Presentations

🔹 **Overcorrection: Why LLMs Can't _Just_ Proofread – and How to Fix It**
_[Heejin Do](https://www.linkedin.com/in/heejin-do-969bb3231/), Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH AI Center_
LLMs often over-edit text, sacrificing original meaning for fluency. This talk introduces PoCO, a two-stage method that harnesses 'intentional overcorrection' to catch more errors while using smaller models to restore accuracy and precision.

**🔹 Why Translation AI Fails (Even Though It Works)**
_[Christian Weih-Sum](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianweihsum/), Managing Director at foryouandyourcustomers_
The quality of modern translation AI is no longer the main issue. In practice, deployments fall short not because of models, but because of processes, roles, and decision-making. This impulse explores the non-technical challenges that decide whether translation AI becomes a competitive advantage—or another missed opportunity.

**🔹 Privacy vs Utility: The Anonymisation Tradeoff in Language AI Workflows**
_[Michael Anthony Mazourik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazourik/), Founder and CEO at AI4Privacy_
Every AI workflow leaks data it shouldn't. But most anonymisation tools either destroy context or miss entities entirely. To tackle this, AI4privacy built p5y, an open-source privacy framework modelled on i18n, that treats privacy as a language-level translation task. The talk covers reversible masking, synthetic identity generation, and policy-driven access control in production translation pipelines. No theory, just live examples of what actually works.

8:00 pm – Drinks reception
