Second Workshop on Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra) intends
to further progress on the findings from the first edition which was
held (together with the ESIRMT workshop) as a joint 2-day EACL 2012
workshop. </font></font>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="JUSTIFY"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font>The
aim of the HyTra workshop is to bring together and share ideas among
researchers developing statistical, example-based, or rule-based
translation systems and those who enhance MT systems with elements
from the other approaches. Hereby one relevant focus will be on
effectively combining linguistic and data driven approaches
(rule-based and statistical MT). Another focus will be on
hybridization in the context of human translation.</font></font></p>
