<p style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Various methods and techniques have been explored in the past in the aim of automatically generating new bilingual (and multilingual) dictionaries from
existing ones, for instance using one (or more) language(s) as a pivot between two other source and target languages. However, such efforts were usually conducted on different types of datasets and evaluated in different ways, making it difficult to compare
due to the different experimental setups and evaluation metrics.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">TIAD-2017 is launched with the intention of offering quality lexical resources for a coherent experiment that enables reliable validation of results and
solid comparison of methods and techniques used for the automatic generation of translations across languages. This initiative aims also to stimulate and enhance further research on the topic. It will make use of cross-lingual lexicographic data of K Dictionaries
(KD), which will serve also to validate the results along with human assessment. The systems developed by participants and their results will be presented at a workshop that will be held as part of the first Language, Data and Knowledge conference in Galway,
Ireland, on 18 June 2017 (</span><a href="http://ldk2017.org"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">http://ldk2017.org</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">). The papers
describing the participant systems will be published on CEUR-WS (</span><a href="http://ceur-ws.org"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">http://ceur-ws.org</span></a><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">)</span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">.</span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
