Dear Moses-support ML members, I introduce the final Call for Papers of The 6th Workshop on Patent and Scientific Literature Translation (PSLT 2015) held at MT Summit XV. The paper submission deadline has been extended to September 7.
[Apologies for multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Call for Papers: The 6th Workshop on Patent and Scientific Literature Translation (PSLT 2015) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of MT Summit 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013 Workshops on Patent Translation, we are organizing the 6th Workshop on Patent and Scientific Literature Translation (PSLT 2015) as a part of MT Summit 2015 in Miami, Florida, USA. While patent information is still one of the major application areas of machine translation, the need for translation of different kinds of scientific literature has also been increasing rapidly. This edition extends the area of interest to translation of scientific literature including patents, scientific articles, and technical reports, which have common characteristics as well as their own characteristics. The workshop, which consists of invited talks, presentation of submitted papers, and free discussion like the previous editions, will be an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to get together and exchange their ideas and experiences. We will have the following invited speakers at PSLT 2015: Stefan Riezler (Heidelberg University), Bruno Pouliquen (World Intellectual Property Organization), John Tinsley (Iconic Translation Machines Ltd.), Toshiaki Nakazawa (Japan Science and Technology Agency), and Kei Kato (Japan Patent Office). ----------------------- Topics of Interests ----------------------- We solicit original research papers as well as survey papers and user reports. We also solicit short papers that describe work in progress. Topics of interests include but not limited to: * Machine translation of patents and scientific literature * Domain adaptation of MT systems * Translation aids for patents and scientific literature * Language resources for patent and scientific literature translation * Evaluation techniques for patent and scientific literature translation * Controlled languages and machine translation * Multilingual retrieval and classification of patents and scientific literature -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- * September 7: Paper submission deadline * September 21: Notifications to authors * September 28: Camera-ready versions due * October 30: Workshop ------------------------------ Submission Instructions ------------------------------ The format for papers is the same as for regular MT Summit 2015 submissions. Papers must be written in English. Full papers must not exceed 12 (twelve) pages plus 4 (four) pages for references, and short papers must not exceed 6(six) pages plus 2 (two) pages for references. All papers should follow the formatting instructions included with the style files, and should be submitted in PDF. Latex, PDF and MS Word style files are available at http://www.amtaweb.org/mt-summit-xv-mt-researchers-call-for-papers/. To allow for blind reviewing, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper and avoid obvious self-references. Papers must be submitted to the START system (https://www.softconf.com/mtsummit-xv/PSLT-2015/) by 11:59 pm PDT (GMT – 7 hours), September 7, 2015. ----------------------------- Workshop Organization ----------------------------- PC Co-Chairs: Hiroyuki Kaji (Shizuoka University, Japan) Katsuhito Sudoh (NTT, Japan) PC Members: Key-Sun Choi (KAIST, Korea) Hiroshi Echizen-ya (Hokkai-Gakuen University, Japan) Terumasa Ehara (Ehara NLP Research Laboratory, Japan) Isao Goto (NHK, Japan) Kinji Hanawa (Japan Patent Information Organization, Japan) Takayuki Hayakawa (Japan Patent Information Organization, Japan) Munpyo Hong (Sungkyunkwan University, Korea) Eduard Hovy (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Kenji Imamura (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan) Hideki Isozaki (Okayama Prefectural University, Japan) Hiroaki Kawai (Japan Patent Information Organization, Japan) Philipp Koehn (Johns Hopkins University, USA) Akira Kumano (Toshiba Solutions Corporation, Japan) Sadao Kurohashi (Kyoto University, Japan) Jong-Hyeok Lee (Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea) Bente Maegaard (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Toshimichi Moriya (Japan Patent Information Organization, Japan) Toshiaki Nakazawa (Japan Science and Technology Agency, Japan) Takashi Ninomiya (Ehime University, Japan) Tadaaki Oshio (Japan Patent Information Organization, Japan) Svetlana Sheremetyeva (Lanaconsult, Denmark) Sayori Shimohata (Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd., Japan) Jun-ichi Tsujii (Artificial Intelligence Research Center, AIST, Japan) Takashi Tsunakawa (Shizuoka University, Japan) Takehito Utsuro (University of Tsukuba, Japan) Andy Way (Dublin City University, Ireland) Shoichi Yokoyama (Yamagata University, Japan) Jiajun Zhang (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) Publications Chair: Takashi Tsunakawa (Shizuoka University, Japan) Workshop Web-site: http://www.aamtjapio.com/pslt2015 -- Takashi Tsunakawa Kaji Laboratory, College of Informatics, Shizuoka University [email protected] _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
