<b>Machine Translation Summit XIV</b><br>
2–6 September 2013<br>
Nice, France<br>
<br>
<b>CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS</b><br>
<br>
The Fourteenth Machine Translation Summit, organized by the
International Association for Machine Translation and the European
Association for Machine Translation, will be held at the ACROPOLIS
conference centre, Nice, France, 2–6 September 2013.<br>
<br>
The conference programme for the MT Summit 2013 will include keynote
speeches by renowned experts in Machine Translation, panel
discussions and presentations of submitted and invited papers
organized in two programme tracks - research and commercial/user.<br>
<br>
An exhibition of commercial and research systems will be held during
the conference as well as a 'Project Village' featuring the best of
recently funded collaborative work. Before the main conference two
full days will be devoted to tutorials and workshops. There will be
a variety of sightseeing tours in the beautiful surroundings of Nice
both before and after the MT Summit.<br>
<br>
<b>CFP Research Program Track</b><br>
<br>
The present call concerns Research track papers only; separate calls
will be made for the Commercial Track as well as for Workshop and
Tutorial Proposals.<br>
<br>
The research Program Committee will be co-chaired by Khalil Sima'an
(Universiteit van Amsterdam) and Mikel L. Forcada (Universitat
d'Alacant). All submissions will be reviewed by at least three
experts.<br>
<br>
<b>Research Papers</b><br>
<br>
MT Summit XIV seeks original, unpublished papers about all aspects
of machine translation (MT). Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:<br>
<ul>
<li>MT models of any kind (e.g., data-driven, rule-based, hybrid,
linguistic, hierarchical)</li>
<li>MT techniques and computational issues (e.g., adaptation,
representations, algorithms and complexity)</li>
<li>MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results</li>
<li>Empirical studies on translation data</li>
<li>MT and other technologies (e.g., speech translation,
multilingual text categorization, multilingual retrieval, text
summarization).</li>
<li>Text and speech corpora for MT, and knowledge extraction for
MT</li>
<li>Human factors in MT and user interfaces for MT</li>
<li>Dictionaries and lexica for MT</li>
<li>Standards in text and lexicon and rule encoding for MT</li>
<li>Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion
tools for lexica, etc.)</li>
<li>Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases,
etc.)</li>
</ul>
There will be two categories of research papers: <br>
<br>
(R) <i>Regular papers</i>: Submissions are invited for reports of
significant research results in any aspect of machine translation
and related areas. Such reports should include an empirical
evaluation component. The Regular paper submissions will be
presented either orally or as a poster.<br>
<br>
(P) <i>System demonstrations</i>: Submissions are invited for
reports on the design, implementation, operation and evaluation of
operational and prototype systems with an accompanying
demonstration.<br>
<br>
Both types of papers should include a 100-150 word abstract, and up
to 5 keywords. Further guidelines for authors will be available soon
at the conference website.<br>

<b>Briefly about Nice</b><br>
<br>
A seaside city at the French Riviera, Nice has been enjoying, in
recent years, a genuine economic, cultural, artistic and
architectural revolution. Creative, dynamic, cosmopolitan, young,
Nice is bubbling with innovative realizations worthy of Europe’s
greatest capitals. Located between the sea and mountains, Nice
reveals unsuspected treasures to become the stage for an
unforgettable conference and stay.<br>
<br>
Reaching Nice is very easy: the Nice Côte d'Azur International
Airport is the second largest in France, and high-speed trains and a
major motorway network connect Nice to all major cities in France in
Europe.<br>
