/*Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP2) *//*at *//*MT
Summit XIV*/ <http://www.mtsummit2013.info/>/*, Nice, September 2nd, 2013*/
*Call for Papers*
Following the success of the AMTA 2012 Workshop on Translation
Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP:
https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2012), we are organizing WPTP2. Once
again, this workshop will be an opportunity for post-editing
practitioners and researchers to get together and openly discuss the
weaknesses and strengths of existing technology, to properly and
objectively assess post-editing effectiveness, to establish better
practices, and propose tools and technological post-editing solutions
that are built around the needs of users.
This one-day workshop will be held during MT Summit XIV, in Nice
(France), Sept. 2, 2013. The workshop will feature an invited speaker,
oral presentations of original work, and a short poster and demo session.
*Topics of interest:*
The broad focus of WPTP1 was technologies and practices associated with
post-editing. For WPTP2, we propose to place a greater emphasis on
"technologies". We are particularly interested in attracting original
papers on the following themes, but also welcome other ideas which touch
on potential fruitful human-machine collaborations for translation:
*
Post-editing user interface design and evaluation
*
Tools for crowd and community post-editing
*
Automatic prediction of post-editing effort
*
Error-detection and error-correction for post-editing
*
Innovative uses of post-editor feedback
*
Innovative uses of MT data for post-editing
*
Integration of MT with translation memory and other CAT tools
*
Text pre- and post-processing for post-editing
*
Post-editing and mobile devices
*
Post-editing evaluation methodology and metrics
*
Collecting and sharing post-editing data
*
Best practices for post-editing
*
Training for post-editing
*Demos*
We also invite one-page descriptions of interesting tools related to
post-editing, including commercial products, in-house systems and open
source software. Authors should be ready to present demos of the tools
during the workshop. See Demo submission instructions below.
