MT Summit XIII will feature a comprehensive program that will include research papers, reports on users' experiences, discussions of policy issues, invited talks, panels, exhibits, tutorials, and workshops. We define machine translation in the broadest possible sense, to include not just fully
automatic MT but tools for translation support and multilingual text processing as well.
We invite all those with an interest in translation automation-researchers, developers, translation service providers, users, or managers-to participate in the conference.
MT Summit XIII hereby invites original submissions on all aspects machine and machine-aided translation. The submissions must be in English and fall into one of three categories:
Category A: research (or theoretical) papers: maximum length 8 pages;
Category B: user's studies (including manager's experiences): maximum length 8 pages;
Category C: system presentations (with optional demos): maximum length 4 pages.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* MT technology
* Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion tools for lexica, etc.)
* Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.)
* Human factors in MT and user interfaces for MT
* MT combined with other technologies (speech translation, cross-language information retrieval, multilingual text categorization, multilingual text summarization, multilingual natural language generation, etc.)
* Dictionaries and lexica for MT
* Text and speech corpora for MT, and knowledge extraction for MT
* Standards in text and lexicon encoding for MT
* MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results.
* User's studies (including manager's experiences)
It is acceptable to submit your paper to another conference, provided you declare this double submission at the time you make your submission to Machine Translation Summit. If the paper is accepted by the other conference and you decide to withdraw it from MT Summit, you must notify us of your intention to withdraw as soon as you receive the acceptance from the other conference. Also note that for each paper accepted by MT Summit, at the camera-ready stage, papers will be accepted for inclusion in the MT Summit conference proceedings only if at least one author of each paper has
registered for the conference.
There will be two types of papers:
(R) Regular papers (Category A and B only): Submissions are invited for reports of significant research results or user’s studies in any aspect of machine translation and related areas.
Such reports should include a substantial evaluation component.
(P) Poster presentations (with or without demonstration) (Category A, B and C): Submissions are invited for presentations that are best suited for poster sessions, which are more interactive. Submissions are also invited for reports on the design, implementation, operation and evaluation of operational and prototype systems.
Both types of paper should include a category (A, B or C), a type of paper (Regular paper or Poster presentations), a 100 word abstract, and up to 5 keywords. MT Summit XIII uses electronic submission through the EasyChair conference tool.
