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>

<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.
