WAT 2015
(The 2nd Workshop on Asian Translation)
http://lotus.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/WAT/
October 16, 2015, Kyoto, Japan
Following the success of the previous Workshop on Asian Translation
(WAT2014), WAT2015 brings together machine translation researchers and
users to try, evaluate, share and discuss brand-new ideas of machine
translation. We are working toward the practical use of machine
translation among all Asian countries.
For the 2nd WAT, we adopt new translation subtasks
"Chinese-to-Japanese and Korean-to-Japanese patent translation" in
addition to the subtasks that were conducted in WAT2014.
