AMTA 2020 | 2nd Call for Student Research Workshop Papers
The 14th biennial conference of the Association for Machine Translation in the
Americas has been rescheduled to OCTOBER 6-10 and will be held as a virtual
conference using Microsoft Teams, a powerful, enterprise collaboration
platform. It was previously scheduled from September 8-12 in Orlando, Florida.
This year, AMTA will hold a Student Research Workshop together with the main
conference in 2020 and invites submissions from student participants at all
stages of their education.
## Important Dates
All deadlines are in the “Anywhere on Earth” time zone (UTC–12).
• Submission deadline: Monday, 13 July 2020
• Notification: Monday, 3 August 2020
• Final “camera-ready” versions: Monday, 31 August 2020
• Main conference (virtual): 6–10 October, 2020
The purpose of the Student Research Workshop is to provide students with a
special opportunity to present their work and receive focused, intentional
feedback from international experts in the field of machine translation.
Accepted work will have at least one experienced member of the government,
industry, and/or academia with knowledge in the student’s particular research
area. These senior members will prepare comments and questions ahead of time
and will work with the student to provide them with an outside perspective on
their work’s impact and potential.
## Submissions
We invite two types of submissions:
– Research papers must describe original, unpublished work, and follow the
submission criteria described in the Call for MT Research Papers. They may
include multiple authors, but the primary and first author must be a student.
These papers will be blindly reviewed and evaluated and then presented along
with main conference papers. They will be published in the AMTA Student
Research Workshop volume of the conference proceedings and hosted on the ACL
Anthology.
– Research proposals may contain previously published work. They should
describe a proposed research trajectory, ideally (but optionally) rooted in the
student’s existing work that is either already completed or in-progress.
Research proposals must have only a single author.
All submitted papers must be in PDF. Papers must be submitted to the START
system at https://www.softconf.com/amta2020/srw/ by Monday, 13 July 2020 (AOE).
For Research Papers, please follow the submission guidelines found in the Call
for MT Research Papers, noting the alternate submission URL above. Research
Proposals should be no longer than 5 (five) pages (not counting references,
which have no page limit). Another page will be allowed for accepted papers.
Due to generous sponsorship from Microsoft, accepted submissions will receive
free registration to the virtual conference for the primary student involved in
the work. Additionally, the first one hundred students to register will pay
only a reduced $10 registration fee.
