SSST-7: Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation NAACL 2013 / SIGMT / SIGLEX Workshop Jun 13 2013
http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/ssst/ *** Program Update *** Panel on "Meaning Representations for Machine Translation" Jun 13, 2-3pm Confirmed Panelists: Jan Hajic (Charles University) Kevin Knight (University of Southern California / Information Sciences Institute) Martha Palmer (University of Colorado Boulder) Dekai Wu (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) *** Early registration deadline: May 10th, 2013 *** http://naacl2013.naacl.org/Registration.aspx The Seventh Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical Translation (SSST-7) seeks to bring together a large number of researchers working on diverse aspects of structure, semantics and representation in relation to statistical machine translation. Since its first edition in 2006, its program each year has comprised high-quality papers discussing current work spanning topics including: new grammatical models of translation; new learning methods for syntax- and semantics-based models; formal properties of synchronous/transduction grammars (hereafter S/TGs); discriminative training of models incorporating linguistic features; using S/TGs for semantics and generation; and syntax- and semantics-based evaluation of machine translation. PROGRAM * Panel discussion: "Meaning Representations for Machine Translation" from 2-3pm. Confirmed Panelists: Jan Hajic (Charles University) Kevin Knight (University of Southern California / Information Sciences Institute) Martha Palmer (University of Colorado Boulder) Dekai Wu (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) * Accepted papers A FORMAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PARSING WORD ALIGNMENTS BY SYNCHRONOUS GRAMMARS WITH EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE TO THE ITG HYPOTHESIS.
