This is a joint announcement and call for participation and papers for
Third MT Marathon in the Americas (May 22-26; Dayton, OH, USA)
and
MT Marathon 2017 (Aug 28-Sept 02; Lisbon, Portugal, EU)
This year, you are most welcome to take part in one of (or both!) Machine
Translation Marathons. The US edition, this year sponsored by 711th Human
Performance Wing of the Air Force Research Laboratory, takes place in late
May and highlights the features of a summer school. The EU edition, this
year jointly organized by Unbabel, IST, the Instituto de Telecomunicações
(IT) and the Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores,
Investigação e Desenvolvimento (INESC-ID), takes place Aug 28 - Sept 02
with a focus on deep learning.
Each Machine Translation Marathon is a week long gathering of machine
translation researchers, developers, students and users featuring:
- MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials.
- Technical Talks about open source tools.
- Hacking Projects to advance tools or research in one week.
Details:

** Call for papers **
Each MT Marathon will again host an Open Source Convention to advance the
state of the art in machine translation. We invite developers of open
source tools to present their work and submit a paper of up to 10 pages
that describes the underlying methodology and includes instructions on how
to download and use the tools. We are looking for stand-alone tools and
extensions of existing tools, such as the Moses open source system.
Accepted papers will be presented during the MT Marathon and published in
the Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics (
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml).
Deadlines:
Abstract submission: June 19 (one paragraph, to allocate reviewers)
Paper submission: July 3
Notification: July 21
Camera-ready deadline: July 28
