*Abby Levenberg, EAMT Best Thesis Awardee 2011*
Eight eligible PhD theses were received for the 2011 edition of the Best
Thesis Award, all of an outstanding quality. A committee consisting of
12 members of the EAMT coordinated by EAMT Executive Committee members
Marcello Federico and Mikel L. Forcada (Secretary) judged the
dissertations according to three criteria: relevance, impact, and
challenge of the problem. After careful deliberation, the jury selected
the thesis "Stream-based Statistical Machine Translation", by Abby
Levenberg (completed under the supervision of Dr. Miles Osborne at the
University of Edinburgh, Scotland) as EAMT Best Thesis 2011.
Dr. Abby Levenberg will receive a prize of EUR500 and an additional
EUR200 bursary so that he can present a summary of his thesis at the
Annual Conference of the EAMT (EAMT-2012) which will take place in
Trento, Italy, on May 28-30, 2011.
