The Ninth Workshop on Syntax, Semantics and Structure in Statistical
Translation (SSST-9) 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.
