European Association for Machine Translation
Workshop, Malta, 26-27 April 2004
First call for papers
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) will be holding its
Ninth Workshop in Malta on 26-27 April 2004. The meeting is one of a series of
annual workshops acting as a forum for the exchange of ideas concerning all
aspects of machine translation within the European and adjacent regions. (For
information about previous workshops see the EAMT website: www.eamt.org.) As in
previous EAMT workshops, contributions will be particularly welcomed from
developers, vendors and users of MT systems and translation aids.
The SPECIAL THEME for this workshop will be machine-translation-related issues
concerning
* Semitic languages,
* Languages of the newly accessioned states of the European Union.
Papers on machine translation systems and computer-based translation aids
relating to these languages will be of particular interest.
However, papers relating to other aspects of machine translation, and other
languages, will also be considered such as:
* Translation Memories
* Web-based MT services
* Issues for developers and users of MT and translation aids
* Economic aspects of MT
* Evaluation of MT systems
