*EAMT Best Thesis Award 2013: modified call*
The European Association for Machine Translation
(EAMT,http://www.eamt.org) <http://www.eamt.org%29/>is an organization
that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and
translation tools, including users, developers, and researchers of this
increasingly viable technology.
The EAMT invites entries for its fifth EAMT Best Thesis Award for a PhD
or equivalent thesis on a topic related to machine translation.
*Eligibility*
Researchers who
* have submitted a PhD (or equivalent) thesis on a relevant topic in
an European, Northern African[1] or Middle Eastern[2] institution
within calendar year 2013,
* have successfully obtained the PhD or equivalent degree, and
* have not previously won a similar award,
are invited to submit their theses to the EAMT for consideration.
*Panel*
The submissions will be judged by a panel of experts who are EAMT
members and are appointed by the Executive Committee of the EAMT.
*Selection Criteria*
Each thesis will be judged according to how challenging the problem was,
to how relevant the results are for machine translation as a field, and
to the strength of their impact in terms of scientific publications.
*Scope*
The scope of the thesis need not be confined to a technical area, and
applications are also invited from students who carried out their
research into commercial and management aspects of machine translation.
Possible areas of research might include:
* development of machine translation or advanced computer-assisted
translation systems: software and resources
* machine translation for less-resourced languages
* the use of these systems in professional environments (freelance
translators, translation agencies, localisation, etc.)
* the increasing impact of machine translation on non-professional
Internet users and its impact in communications, social networking, etc.
* machine translation and post-editing
* spoken language translation
* the integration of machine translation and translation memory systems
* the integration of machine translation software in larger IT
applications
* the evaluation of machine translation systems in real tasks such as
those above
* the cross-fertilisation between machine translation and other
language technologies
*Prize*
The winner will be announced by the end of March, 2014, and will receive
a prize of EUR500, together with a suitably-inscribed certificate, and
will receive free EAMT membership for two years. In addition, the
recipient of the award will be required to briefly present their
research at the Annual Conference of the European Association for
Machine Translation in June 2014 (venue to be determined). In order to
facilitate this, the EAMT will waive the winner's registration costs,
and will make available a travel bursary of EUR200 to enable the
recipient of the award to attend the said conference.
