Apologies for multiple postings. ------------------------------ *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: https://sites.google.com/site/mts2013wptp/. 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. *Important dates:* - *May 28: Submission deadline* - June 18: Notifications to authors - June 29: Camera-ready versions due - September 2: Workshop *Original Paper Submission Instructions:* Format for original papers is the same as for regular MT Summit submissions: papers should not be longer than 8 pages on A4 paper, in PDF format.
