============================== LEARNING MACHINE TRANSLATION Second call for contributions ==============================
Following the NIPS 2006 workshop "Machine Learning for Multilingual Information Access" (http://mlia.iltevents.org/), we are preparing an edited volume on the topic of "LEARNING MACHINE TRANSLATION" to be published by MIT Press in their "NIPS Workshop Series". This volume is open to presenters and participants of the workshop but also to all researchers interested in the use of Machine Learning techniques in the context of Machine Translation. Of particular interest are the following topics: - Mining parallel corpora from the web - Exploiting comparable corpora - Word alignment - Learning parallel syntax - Paraphrase - Evaluation of Machine Translation - Adaptive Machine Translation - Learning to combine translation systems - Factored Machine Translation Other topics related to the use of Machine Learning techniques in the context of Machine Translation or related tasks would of course be welcome. In order to help us ensure the coherence of this volume, prospective authors wishing to contribute on other topics should send us (mlia (at) iltevents.org) *as soon as possible* an expression of interest, outlining their proposed contribution (max. 1 page). Submission: ----------- Contributors should submit a 15-to-20 page chapter by October 1st, 2007 to mlia (at) iltevents.org. Further information and templates will be available at: http://mlia.iltevents.org/book.html Submissions will be reviewed and comments will be sent by November 15, 2007. We are hoping to have final versions ready by the end of 2007, in order to have the volume published in 2008.
