******** CFP: Machine Translation Journal ******** Special Issue on Machine Translation for Rapidly Emerging Events
http://www.springer.com/computer/artificial/journal/10590 Guest editors: Will Lewis (Microsoft) Andy Way (ADAPT Centre, Dublin City University) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The range of use-cases where Machine Translation (MT) is demonstrably useful is expanding rapidly. One such area is where MT systems need to be rapidly developed, (i) to cope with an unforeseen event, often an emergency situation, or (ii) to widen user access to large-scale global events. Examples of (i) include Microsoft's response to the Haitian earthquake in 2010 (Lewis, 2010), while instances of (ii) relate to the systems built by the CNGL team at DCU team for the translation of tweets at the soccer World Cups in 2010 (http://www.computing.dcu.ie/news/cngl-launch-world-cup-twanslation-service) and 2014 (http://www.cngl.ie/brazilator) [see AMTA 2014 Technology Showcase Guide, p.4]. Accordingly, we are pleased to put out a call for papers for a special issue on this topic, and welcome descriptions of systems which propose innovative ways of addressing this challenging problem. Papers which describe how MT could be of use in related circumstances are also welcome. *Reference* William D.Lewis: Haitian Creole: how to build and ship an MT engine from scratch in 4 days, 17 hours, & 30 minutes <http://www.mt-archive.info/10/EAMT-2010-Lewis.pdf>. *EAMT 2010: Proceedings of the 14th Annual conference of the European Association for Machine Translation*, 27-28 May 2010, ël, .
