[[Call for Short Papers]]
HyTra-4, in conjunction with ACL-2015, Beijing: 31 July 2015
We solicit contributions of Short Papers, of up to four (4) pages of content
plus up to two (2) pages for references.
The Workshop HyTra-4 (Hybrid Approaches to Translation, 4th Edition) aims at
providing a communication platform and informing research agenda around
theoretical and practical issues of Hybrid MT, and specifically – the problems,
methodologies, resources and theoretical ideas which originate outside the
mainstream MT paradigm, but have potential to enhance the quality of
state-of-the-art MT systems. by bringing together diverse range of
technologies, methods and tools into MT domain.
The topics include but are not limited to:
• ways and techniques of hybridization
• architectures for the rapid development of hybrid MT systems
• applications of hybrid systems
• hybrid systems dealing with under-resourced languages
• hybrid systems dealing with morphologically rich languages
• using linguistic information (morphology, syntax, semantics) to enhance
statistical MT (e.g. with hierarchical or factored models)
• bootstrapping rule-based systems from corpora
• hybrid methods in spoken language translation
• extraction of dictionaries from parallel and comparable corpora
• induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from corpora
• machine learning techniques for hybrid MT
• describing structural mappings between languages (e.g. tree-structures
using synchronous/transduction grammars)
• heuristics for limiting the search space in hybrid MT
• alternative methods for the fair evaluation of the output of different
types of MT systems (e.g. relying on linguistic criteria)
• system combination approaches such as multi-engine MT (parallel) or
automatic post- editing (sequential)
• open source tools and free language resources for hybrid MT, or developed
on the basis of hybrid approaches
• use of Hybrid MT techniques for other computational linguistics tasks,
such as translation lexicography, contrastive morphology, parallel grammar
induction
Short paper submission must describe original and unpublished work without
exceeding four pages of content plus two pages of references.
Characteristics of short papers include: a small, focused contribution; work in
progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application
nugget.
Submissions will be judged according to the criteria of the main conference
(ACL 2015).
Submission Instructions
Authors are invited to submit papers on original and previously unpublished
work. Formatting should be according to ACL 2015 specifications using LaTeX or
MS-Word style files. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind, so the
submissions should not reveal the authors’ identity.
Submission is electronic in PDF format using the START submission system at the
following url:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2015/HyTra/
Double submission policy: Parallel submission to other meetings or publications
are possible but must be immediately notified to the workshop contact person
(see below). If accepted, withdrawals are only possible within two days after
notification.
For an accepted paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author must
register for the workshop and actually present the paper. The papers will be
published in the workshop proceedings which will be made available via the ACL
Anthology.
Important dates:
**Short Paper submission deadline: Wednesday 10 June**
Notification of acceptance: Wed 17 June 2015
Camera-ready papers due: Wed, 24 June 2015
