------------------------------

*Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP2) **at **MT Summit
XIV* <http://www.mtsummit2013.info/>*, Nice, September 2nd, 2013*

*Call for Papers*

 Following the success of the AMTA 2012 Workshop on Translation
Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP:
https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2012), we are organizing WPTP2:
https://sites.google.com/site/mts2013wptp/. 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 MT Summit XIV, in Nice (France),
Sept. 2, 2013. The workshop will feature an invited speaker, oral
presentations of original work, and a short poster and demo session.

*Topics of interest:*

The broad focus of WPTP1 was technologies and practices associated with
post-editing. For WPTP2, we propose to place a greater emphasis on
"technologies". We are particularly interested in attracting original
papers on the following themes, but also welcome other ideas which touch on
potential fruitful human-machine collaborations for translation:

   -

   Post-editing user interface design and evaluation
    -

   Tools for crowd and community post-editing
    -

   Automatic prediction of post-editing effort
    -

   Error-detection and error-correction for post-editing
    -

   Innovative uses of post-editor feedback
    -

   Innovative uses of MT data for post-editing
    -

   Integration of MT with translation memory and other CAT tools
    -

   Text pre- and post-processing for post-editing
    -

   Post-editing and mobile devices
    -

   Post-editing evaluation methodology and metrics
    -

   Collecting and sharing post-editing data
    -

   Best practices for post-editing
    -

   Training for post-editing

 *Demos*

We also invite one-page descriptions of interesting tools related to
post-editing, including commercial products, in-house systems and open
source software. Authors should be ready to present demos of the tools
during the workshop. See Demo submission instructions below.
