Assess students' ability to design a graduate-level research proposal that specifies an annotation schema for poetic metaphors across languages (theoretical rationale, labeling guidelines, inter-annotator reliability), evaluation metrics for identification/alignment/generative translation (automatic and human measures), model architectures and training regimes (multilingual encoders, alignment modules, style-preserving NMT or generative models), dataset creation, experimental design with baselines, and ethical considerations. Scope: multilingual literary corpora and poetry.
