AIKO SciLingual®:
AI-based translator for biomedical /pharmaceutical applications
AIKO SciLingual® is an AI-based text translation platform dedicated to life sciences applications.
AIKO SciLingual® features a fine-tuned translation model named “SciLingual,” which was developed
using large-scale training data in a medical and pharmaceutical language resource. The SciLingual
neural model provides high-quality translation output based on rich knowledge and vocabulary
specific to the life sciences field.
AIKO SciLingual® offers improved productivity in translation work for biomedical research, drug
development, and clinical studies.
Bilingual corpus consists of one million sentences of Japanese-English data collected and translated byASCA. The training data are collected from publicly available databases and repositories, excluding
private or non-disclosed resources. We have manually translated these data and created our own
bilingual data suitable for machine learning.

Target languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified)Target areas: Clinical studies (clinical trial protocols, summary reports, etc.)
Drug development (CMC, pharmacology, toxicity, ADME, etc.)
Research papers (clinical medicine, biology, oncology, etc.)

The name SciLingual is a combination of Science and Bilingual (SciLingual),
and the logo is a trademark created by imagining the translation
process as a hexagonal “benzene ring” enclosing two-way arrows.
