Viveta Gene, LangOptima, and Lead Semantics Announce Research Partnership

November 2025

We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking research partnership between Viveta Gene, PhD, LangOptima, and Lead Semantics, combining academic excellence with cutting-edge AI technology to transform terminology accuracy in AI-powered translation for regulated industries.

This collaboration unites practical localization expertise with advanced semantic technology to address one of the most critical challenges facing the translation industry: ensuring domain-specific accuracy when using large language models and knowledge graphs for post-editing.

Why This Partnership Matters

As AI continues to reshape the translation landscape, regulated industries demand precision and reliability. This partnership bridges the gap between theoretical research and real-world application, creating solutions that don’t just process text, but understand context, domain knowledge, and industry-specific terminology.

Viveta Gene, PhD brings extensive expertise as Head of Global Localization Solutions and Innovation at Intertranslations S.A., where she oversees cutting-edge localization applications while managing practical insights from 100M+ post-edited words in regulated industries. She is embarking on post-doctoral research at Ionian University under the supervision of Dr. Vilelmini Sosoni, Associate Professor in Translation Studies.

LangOptima brings proven expertise in language operations and marketing, helping companies grow through innovative AI-powered translation solutions. LangOptima’s Founder Edwin Trebels and Lead Semantics’ Knowledge Graph Mediated Translation (KGMT®) technology uses semantic knowledge graphs to improve domain-specific translation accuracy and fluency.

Lead Semantics brings deep AI and semantic technology expertise, helping popKnowledge Graphs (since 2019), Knowledge Graph RAG (KnowledgeGraphRAG, first discussed in 2023), and the TextDistil pipeline that transforms unstructured content into structured, meaningful knowledge.

The Research Focus

This research partnership explores:

“Evaluating the Impact of Prompt Engineering on Terminology Accuracy: A Comparative Analysis of Large Language Models and Knowledge Graphs for Post-Editing in Regulated Industries”

The research brings together LangOptima’s and Lead Semantics’ TextDistil pipeline and Knowledge Graph Mediated Translation (KGMT®) technology with practical post-editing insights, creating a synergy between university research, real-world translation operations, and advanced semantic AI solutions.

The synergy between Viveta Gene’s practical insights from Intertranslations‘ enterprise localization work (serving 100M+ post-edited words), practical insights from LangOptima’s expertise, and Lead Semantics’ cutting-edge and innovative semantic technology creates the perfect environment for breakthrough findings that will benefit:

• Academia: advancing translation technology research with empirical validation
• Regulated industries: improving localization accuracy for life sciences, legal, and financial sectors
• Translation professionals: enhancing post-editing workflows and quality
• The broader translation technology community: advancing best practices for AI-powered translation
