------------------ FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: MT Summit Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP4) ------------------
Following the success of the AMTA 2012, MT Summit 2013, and AMTA 2014 Workshops on Post-Editing Technology and Practice, we are organizing WPTP4! Once again, this workshop will be an opportunity for post-editing practitioners and researchers to get together and openly discuss the weaknesses and strengths of existing technology, to properly and objectively assess post-editing effectiveness, to establish better practices, and propose tools and technological post-editing solutions that are built around the needs of users. This one-day workshop will be held during the MT Summit 2015 conference, in Miami, Florida on November 3, 2015. It will be co-located with the ATA conference 2015 and professional translators are very welcome to attend and to contribute. More details can be found on our website: http://wptp2015.postediting.org ------------------ Topics of Interest ------------------ We are particularly interested in original papers on the following themes, but also welcome other ideas which touch on potential fruitful human-machine collaborations for translation: * Best practices for post-editing * Collecting and sharing post-editing data * Post-editing guidelines, their usefulness and challenges * Integration of MT with translation memory and other CAT tools * Post-editing user interface design * Training for post-editing * Post-editing evaluation methodology and metrics * Post-editing and quality expectations * Cognitive processes of post-editing * Tools for crowd and community post-editing * Automatic prediction of post-editing effort * Perceptions regarding post-editing effort and actual effort * Automatic learning from post-editing data * Error-detection and error-correction for post-editing * Innovative uses of post-editor feedback * Text pre- and post-processing for post-editing ------------------ Demos ------------------ We also invite one-page descriptions of interesting tools related to post-editing, including commercial products, in-house systems, research prototypes and open source software.
