Hello everybody, The EuroMatrix consortium organizes the Second MT Marathon in Berlin and invites researchers, developers, students, and users of machine translation for participation. The event will feature, among other activities, an open source convention on resources for machine translation.
Berlin, May 12-20, for more information: http://www.euromatrix.net/events/second-machine-translation-marathon/ The EuroMatrix project is dedicated to the development of open source tools to foster research and development of machine translation systems. One focus is the development of the Moses decoder, which is widely used in academic research as baseline and benchmark. The open source convention brings together developers of the Moses decoder and other open source efforts for intensive collaboration over a 5-day period (May 12-16). The sixth day of the MT Marathon (May 17) is dedicated to open source (Open Source Day). In a public event recent developments and available tools are presented to a wider audience. Hands-on development: Developers who already have some experience in machine translation methods and good programming skills are invited to collaborate with the original Moses developers and other experts in the field on short but intense 5-day projects. Call for proposals: The EuroMatrix projects calls for proposals from developers of machine translation systems to extend and augment current open source tools for statistical machine translation. Such projects which should roughly involve 6 months of work, carried out as student projects at universities, development activities at companies, or hobbyist projects must add to the freely available open source tool set for machine translation. Some proposers will be selected to present their ideas at the Open Source Day, and the winning proposal will be awarded with a €1000 grant. Send proposals (1-2 pages) by April 18 to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Philipp Koehn Scientific co-ordinator EuroMatrix project _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list Moses-support@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
