Welcome!
The Cross-cultural and Cross-linguistic Excellence and Enrichment in Research (CrEER) group endeavors to advance cross-cultural and cross-linguistic collaboration in community-based research at Rutgers University and beyond. The essence of CrEER is to leverage the strengths and knowledge within and outside Rutgers to combat the lack of orientation and the professional isolation often experienced by faculty conducting community-based research, as well as to offer guidance on topics that are not usually addressed regarding how to work with multicultural and multilingual communities. The name CrEER also reflects this double mission, as it can be read as “Career” but also as “Creer”, which in Spanish means “Believe”.

Using Large Language Models for Research Translation: Methods, Reliability, and Practical Applications
April 22 @ 10:00 am
As cross-cultural research becomes increasingly common, researchers frequently face the challenge of translating survey instruments, experimental materials, and research communication across languages. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) offer new possibilities for improving translation efficiency and consistency. In this session, I will demonstrate how LLM based tools can assist researchers in translating research materials, comparing AI-generated translations with traditional translation workflows. The talk will also discuss practical considerations, including prompt design, verification strategies, and potential limitations when using AI-assisted translation in academic research. The session will include a short live demonstration of how LLM tools can be used to translate and refine survey instruments in multilingual research projects.
