SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: OPEN SOURCE TOOLS FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION The Fifth Machine Translation Marathon, which will take place September 13-18 in Le Mans, France, is hosting an Open Source Convention to advance the state of the art in machine translation. The MT Marathon is organised by the computer science laboratory of Le Mans (LIUM) and the University of Le Mans on behalf of the EuroMatrixPlus Consortium. We invite developers of open source tools to present their work and submit a paper of up to 10 pages that (a) describes the underlying methodology and (b) includes instructions how to use the tools. We are looking for stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools, such as the Moses open source systems. Accepted papers will be presented during the MT Marathon and published as a special issue of the Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics ( http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml). Possible topics: * training of machine translation models * machine translation decoders * tuning of machine translation systems * evaluation of machine translation * visualization, annotation or debugging tools * tools for human translators * interfaces for web-based services or APIs * extensions of existing tools * other tools for machine translation This is the third time that the MT Marathon will host the Open Source Convention. The papers from previous years are available online: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml-91-100.html Papers will be reviewed by two reviewers appointed by the program committee e.g. papers which will be marked as the best by the reviewers (with no substantial modifications required) will be printed as usual in the PBML journal in time for the MT Marathon. Others will be printed after requested modifications in the next PBML issue. Important dates: Deadline for paper submission: August 1 2010 Notification of acceptance: August 7 2010 Camera-ready paper due: August 14 2010 Presentations: September 13-17 2010 (at the MT Marathon in Le Mans) Camera-ready (next issue) : 15 December 2010 Please send full non-anonymous submissions in PDF to Philipp Koehn < [email protected]> and the full Xe(La)TeX source for technical pre-review to Ondřej Bojar <[email protected]>.
