<div dir="ltr">AMTA 2014 Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP3)
<br>October 26, 2014 -- Vancouver, Canada<br><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2014/">https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2014/</a><br><br> <br>Following the success of the AMTA 2012 and MT Summit 2013 Workshops on
<br>Post-Editing Technology and Practice, we are organizing WPTP3.<br> Once again, this
workshop will be an opportunity for post-editing practitioners and
<br>researchers to get together and openly discuss the weaknesses and
<br>strengths of existing technology, to properly and objectively assess
<br>post-editing effectiveness, to establish better practices, and propose
<br>tools and technological post-editing solutions that are built around
<br>the needs of users.
<br> <br>This one-day workshop will be held during the AMTA conference, in Vancouver
<br>(Canada), October 26, 2014. The format of the workshop was changed to make
<br>it more interactive this year: the morning session will feature an invited
<br>speaker and oral presentations of original work. The afternoon session will
<br>include a longer poster/demo session preceded by short "poster-boaster"
<br>presentations, and will conclude with a panel discussion. The panel will
<br>involve actors from various areas of the post-editing scene (translators
<br>and post-editors, translation trainers and scholars, LSPs, technology
<br>researchers and industrials) and will be moderated by AMTA president
<br>Mike Dillinger.
<br> <br> <br>Topics of interest:
<br> <br>We are particularly interested in attracting
<br>original papers on the following themes, but also welcome other ideas
<br>which touch on potential fruitful human-machine collaborations for
<br>translation:
<br> <br>- Post-editing user interface design and evaluation
<br>- Tools for crowd and community post-editing
<br>- Automatic prediction of post-editing effort
<br>- Error-detection and error-correction for post-editing
<br>- Innovative uses of post-editor feedback
<br>- Innovative uses of MT data for post-editing
<br>- Integration of MT with translation memory and other CAT tools
<br>- Text pre- and post-processing for post-editing
<br>- Post-editing and mobile devices
<br>- Post-editing evaluation methodology and metrics
<br>- Collecting and sharing post-editing data
<br>- Best practices for post-editing
<br>- Training for post-editing
<br> <br> <br>Demos
<br> <br>We also invite one-page descriptions of interesting tools related to
<br>post-editing, including commercial products, in-house systems and open
<br>source software. Authors should be ready to present demos of the tools
<br>during the workshop. See Demo submission instructions below.
