MT Summit XV
The Fifteenth MT Summit Conference
Hosted by AMTA:
The Association for Machine Translation in the Americas
Hyatt Regency Miami Hotel, Miami, Florida
October 30 - November 3, 2015
http://www.amtaweb.org/mt-summit-xv/
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS and PRESENTATIONS
The Fifteenth MT Summit conference, hosted on behalf of the
International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT) by the
Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) will be held
at the Hyatt Regency Miami Hotel in Miami Florida, from Friday, October
30 through Tuesday, November 3, 2015. MT Summit XV is collocated and
will take place immediately prior to the 56st Annual Conference of the
American Translators Association (ATA), also taking place at the Hyatt
Regency, November 4-7. The two conferences are coordinating program
content around
joint topics of interest. These are designed to deepen MT researchers'
and developers' understanding of the needs of the commercial translation
industry and human translators, while also fostering translators'
understanding of modern MT technology and the role of advanced
translation automation in enterprise globalization and commercial
translation processes.
In addition to a research track, the main MT Summit conference program
will also include presentation tracks for government and commercial
users of MT and a "Technology Showcase" of commercial and research-stage
MT technology. Tutorials and workshops will be held on Friday, October
30 and on Tuesday, November 3.

Call for Commercial MT User and Translator Presentations at MT Summit XV
Contacts: Steve Richardson and Mike Dillinger
([email protected])
The Commercial Users and Translators track will focus on how MT helps
individual translators, Language Service Providers, and enterprise users
deliver their products and services more effectively. Submissions should
report on the use of MT to support business goals and serve customer
needs in commercial settings by integrating it with other processes and
technologies.
Example MT use cases include supplying on-demand localization, providing
technical support information in multiple languages, and enabling global
consumer-to-consumer transactions. Example products and services include
MT integration with translator productivity tools, cloud-based MT
services for integration with other web and mobile applications, and
customization and deployment of MT engines for specific needs. See more
possible topics below.
Important dates:
Submissions due: Monday, June 29
Notification of acceptance: Monday, July 13
Final “camera-ready” versions due: Monday, August 31
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Use of MT as a translator productivity tool: benefits, challenges,
training requirements
- Methods for obtaining and using post-editor productivity data
- Quality evaluation and pricing methods for MT post-editing services
- Integrating MT into the localization program lifecycle
- Integrating MT with source content analysis and classification tools
- Integrating MT with web and mobile applications, such as social media
- Integrating MT into CAT tools
- Use of MT for publishing “noisy” source content types (user generated
content, consumer–to-consumer communications, support web sites)
- Static and real-time domain adaptation and change management of MT
systems in commercial deployments
- Use of MT to address global enterprise “big data” requirements such as
web analytics
- Use of MT for cross-language search
- Use of MT in crowd-sourced translation environments
- Business applications of speech-to-speech MT
- Return on Investment (ROI) analysis of MT in commercial settings
What to submit:
Please submit a 250 to 500-word abstract describing your presentation to
the Commercial MT Users Chairs ([email protected]) by 11:59
pm PDT (GMT – 7 hours), Monday, June 29, 2015.
If you have any questions, you can ask the Program Chairs at this same
email address.
Ideal presentations will describe how MT helps to address a specific
business challenge, with an objective assessment of its strengths and
weaknesses for that particular challenge, supported by quantitative
measures.
Submissions should not contain commercial solicitations of specific
tools. If you have original software that you would like to show, you
may also consider submitting a proposal for free space in the MT Summit
Technology Showcase. See the “Call for MT Technology Demonstrations and
Exhibits” on the conference website [coming soon].
Publication:
Please indicate whether you intend to submit your presentation for
publication in the MT Summit XV Conference Proceedings. Publication in
the Conference Proceedings is not a requirement, but we strongly suggest
that you make your presentation available so other people can learn from
your experiences.
If you want to have your presentation published as part of the
Proceedings, it is preferred that you format it according to the
Research track submission guidelines (See Call for MT Research Papers
for details). However, slide decks or extended abstracts may also be
accepted.
