*EAMT 2014 Call for papers*
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT)
<http://www.eamt.org> invites everyone interested in machine translation
and translation-related tools and resources to participate in this
conference -- developers, researchers, users (including professional
translators and translation/localisation managers): anyone who has a
stake in the vision of an information world in which language issues
become less visible to the information consumer. We especially invite
researchers to describe the state of the art and demonstrate their
cutting-edge results and avid MT users to share their experiences.
We expect to receive manuscripts in these three categories:
*(R) Research papers*
Long-paper submissions (8 pages) are invited for reports of significant
research results in any aspect of machine translation and related areas.
Such reports should include a substantial evaluation component.
Contributions are welcome on all topics in the area of Machine
Translation or translation-related technologies, including:
* Speech translation: speech to text, speech to speech;
* Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.);
* Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion tools
for lexica, etc.);
* Practical MT systems (MT for professionals, MT for multilingual
eCommerce, MT for localization, etc.);
* MT in multilingual public service (eGovernment etc.);
* MT for the web;
* MT embedded in other services;
* MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results;
* Dictionaries and lexica for MT;
* Text and speech corpora for MT;
* Standards in text and lexicon encoding for MT;
* Human factors in MT and user interfaces;
* Related multilingual technologies (natural language generation,
information retrieval, text categorization, text summarization,
information extraction, etc.).
Papers should describe original work. They should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. Where appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included.
*(U) User studies*
Short-paper submissions (2-4 pages) are invited for reports on users'
experiences with MT, be it in small or medium size business (SMB),
enterprise, government, or NGOs. Contributions are welcome on:
* Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into a translation
production workflow (e.g. transforming terminology glossaries into
MT resources, optimizing TM/MT thresholds, mixing online and offline
tools, using interactive MT, dealing with MT confidence scores);
* Use of MT to improve translation or localization workflows (e.g.
reducing turnaround times, improving translation consistency,
increasing the scope of globalization projects);
* Managing change when implementing and using MT (e.g. switching
between multiple MT systems, limiting degradations when updating or
upgrading an MT system);
* Implementing open-source MT in the SMB or enterprise (e.g.
strategies to get support, reports on taking pilot results into full
deployment, examples of advance customisation sought and obtained
thanks to the open-source paradigm);
* Evaluation of MT in a real-world setting (e.g. error detection
strategies employed, metrics used, productivity or translation
quality gains achieved);
* Post-editing strategies and tools (e.g. limitations of traditional
translation quality assurance tools, challenges associated with
post-editing guidelines);
* Legal issues associated with MT, especially MT in the cloud (e.g.
copyright, privacy);
* Use of MT in social networking or real-time communication (e.g.
enterprise support chat);
* Use of MT to process multilingual content for assimilation purposes
(e.g. cross-lingual information retrieval, MT for e-discovery, MT
for spam detection);
* Use of standards for MT.
Papers should highlight problems and solutions and not merely describe
MT integration process or project settings. Where solutions do not seem
to exist, suggestions for MT researchers and developers should be
clearly emphasized. For user papers produced by academics, we require
co-authorship with the actual users.
*(P) Project/Product description*
Abstract submissions (1 page) are invited to report new, interesting:
* Tools for machine translation, computer aided translation, and the
like (including commercial products and open source software). The
authors should be ready to present the tools in the form of demos or
posters during the conference.
* Research projects related to machine translation. The authors should
be ready to present the projects in the form of posters during the
conference. This follows on from the successful 'project villages'
held at the last two EAMT conferences.
