*Quality Translation: Where Are We Now, and Where Are We Going?* http://www.qt21.eu/launchpad/content/eamt2014 Sunday 15th June 2014 in Dubrovnik Croatia Workshop at the 17th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) 2014 ABOUT QTLAUNCHPAD ==================== QTLaunchPad [http://www.qt21.eu/launchpad/] is a European Commission-funded project which is preparing a large-scale research and innovation initiative focusing on quality translation technology for the 21st century. This effort is of interest to the whole MT community, and it involves a variety of stakeholders, including academics, researchers, technology developers and integrators, translation buyers, professional translators and language service providers. QTLaunchPad has developed tools and resources to drive forward the fight against MT quality barriers, such as the Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM, a new shared and flexible paradigm for human and machine translation quality evaluation and annotation), QuEst (an open-source tool for MT quality estimation) and DELiC4MT (an open-source toolkit for diagnostic MT evaluation). WORKSHOP AIMS ================ As part of the ongoing engagement and dissemination activities, QTLaunchPad is organising a workshop supported by EAMT which will take place immediately before the Seventeenth Annual EAMT Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia [http://hnk.ffzg.hr/eamt2014/] on Sunday 15th June 2014. The main aims of this workshop are to present the tools and technologies developed by QTLaunchPad, elicit feedback from (potential) users, and discuss issues revolving around the central concern of quality translation, so that we can exchange opinions on where we are now in this respect, and discuss ways forward as to where we are (or should be) going next. Special emphasis will be laid on predictive, diagnostic and semi-automatic approaches to translation quality evaluation, exploring the possibilities for bringing closer together the evaluation of human and machine translation. The participants will have the opportunity to learn about the innovative applications of the MQM, QuEst and DELiC4MT directly from the researchers who have developed these tools within QTLaunchPad, in close collaboration with representatives from the translation and localisation industry. The workshop programme includes talks given by high-profile speakers with academic and industrial backgrounds, who will share their substantial expertise on several key aspects of quality translation. * Bogdan Babych (University of Leeds) * Christian Federmann (Microsoft) * Lucia Specia (University of Sheffield) * Jost Zetzsche (International Writers' Group) REGISTRATION ============== Participation is free, but workshop participants must register in advance via the EAMT 2014 Conference website at http://hnk.ffzg.hr/eamt2014/registration.html For more information, please visit http://www.qt21.eu/launchpad/content/eamt2014
