CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF MACHINE TRANSLATION
(http://www.springer.com/computer/artificial/journal/10590)
Special Issue on: Post-Editing of Machine Translation
SPECIAL ISSUE EDITORS:
Sharon O'Brien (CNGL / Dublin City University)
Michel Simard (National Research Council Canada)
As the adoption of Machine Translation within the global translation industry
increases, attention has turned to the task of "post-editing", that is, the
revision of raw machine translated output. Until now, post-editing was a
relatively uncommon task in the domain of professional translation. The
increasing demand for this service has attracted attention from researchers in
the related disciplines of translation studies and machine translation, as well
as from users of machine translation. Consequently, the number of research and
practice-based papers on the topic has increased over the last years, with
attention been given to a number of important questions, each touching on
various aspects of the task, including cognitive effort, productivity, quality,
economics, user interfaces, training and human-computer interaction. The time
would appear ripe for a Special Issue dedicated to research on this topic. We
encourage researchers that are engaged in innovative, robust and exciting re
search on post-editing to submit extended papers. We envisage a Special Issue
that showcases the top current interdisciplinary approaches to research on
post-editing. We are seeking collaborations that are experimentally sound, and
show awareness of the current state of MT technology with regard to
post-editing and of existing industry practices involving that technology.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
In particular, we invite contributions that address the following aspects of
post-editing:
- Productivity
- Quality
- Active use of post-editing data
- UI design
- Automatic and computer-assisted post-editing
- Economics
- Ethical Issues (e.g. agency, IP ownership, etc.)
- Expertise and Training
- Language-specific issues
This special issue will provide a forum for this vital research to be published
and archived, so that it is accessible to the broad Machine Translation, Human
Translation and Computational Linguistics communities.
