CALL FOR PAPERS:
OPEN SOURCE TOOLS FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION
The Fourth Machine Translation Marathon, which will take place January
25-30 in Dublin, Ireland, is hosting an Open Source Convention to
advance the state of the art in machine translation. The MT Marathon
is organised by the National Centre for Language Technology and the
Centre for Next Generation Localisation at Dublin City University on
behalf of the EuroMatrixPlus Consortium.
We invite developers of open source tools to present their work and
submit a paper of up to 10 pages that (a) describes the underlying
methodology and (b) includes instructions how to use the tools.
We are looking for stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools,
such as the Moses open source systems. Accepted papers will be
presented during the MT Marathon and published as a special issue of
the Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml
).
Possible topics:
* training of machine translation models
* machine translation decoders
* tuning of machine translation systems
* evaluation of machine translation
* visualization, annotation or debugging tools
* tools for human translators
* interfaces for web-based services or APIs
* extensions of existing tools
* other tools for machine translation
This is the second time that the MT Marathon will host the Open Source
Convention. The papers from last year are available online: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml-91-100.html
Papers will be reviewed by two reviewers appointed by the program
committee.
Important dates:
Deadline for paper submission: December 1, 2009
Notification of acceptance: December 7, 2009
Camera-ready paper due: December 14, 2009
Presentations: January 25-30, 2009 (at the MT Marathon in Dublin)
