*************************************************************************************
And yet it Translates! Human-Machine Interaction in Translation in the
21st Century
Workshop on Human-Machine Interaction in Translation
http://it-workshop.translata.info
October 30, 2014
University of Innsbruck, Austria
Held in conjunction with TRANSLATA II conference
**************************************************************************************
SCOPE
Machine translation has been researched and developed for 60 years and
has seen considerable improvements in the course of the last decade due
to a focus on SMT (statistical machine translation). This trajectory,
however, has its own inherent difficulties, e.g. a lack of integrating
linguistic theory into the algorithms used. This workshop, accompanying
one of the largest conferences on translation in the world, TRANSLATA II
(www.translata.info), focuses on the state of the art and future
developments in the field of machine translation, and on the
relationship between machine translation and human translation. Another
focus of the workshop is computer-aided translation (CAT) and the
relationship between information technology and man in terms of
translation and interpreting.
KEY TOPICS
- human-aided machine translation
- machine-aided human translation/computer-aided translation (also with
- regard to literary and multi-media texts)
- pre-editing (of machine translated text)
- post-editing (of machine translated text)
- machine learning based on human input
WORKSHOP COMPONENTS
- Opening presentations by hosting university
- Presentations by scientific contributors
- Presentations by technology providers
- Tool demonstrations (open session)
- Synthesis and discussion of results
PARTICIPATION
Participation is open to:
- scientific contributors presenting research on the listed topics,
- technology providers presenting relevant tools and technologies,
- general participants interested in attending the workshop.
Acceptance of your submitted contribution entails automatic registration
for the TRANSLATA II conference and conference fees apply. The number of
participants is limited to 60.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
- Short Papers (up to 3 pages). A short paper cogently addressing the
topics listed. Papers may, e.g., define current challenges, propose a
solution, or report on research underway to advance efforts toward
synergies between human and machine translation.
- Talks and demonstrations by technology providers. Abstracts (200 words
max.) are to summarise technologies, tools, or application scenarios
relevant to machine and computer-aided translation, especially with
regard to their interaction with human translation. Tools and
technologies are free to be demonstrated at your dedicated demo stand
during the workshop exhibition period and during the whole conference.
- Discussion input. Position statements (250 words max.) defining a
specific challenge, need, or desideratum that can be discussed following
each session. Position statement authors will be expected to facilitate
a discussion on their stated issue and report discussion results during
the workshop synthesis session. These reports may be published at a
later time in the proceedings.
Proposals for all categories should be sent to
[email protected] by 30th June 2014. Notification of paper
acceptance will be sent by 31st July 2014.
Publication in the Proceedings: Accepted short papers, papers belonging
to the abstracts on tools and technologies, and written synthesis
reports on the results of the workshop will be published in the
conference proceedings.
Workshop organizer:
Andy Stauder (University of Innsbruck)
