THE 13TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KOREAN LINGUISTICS (ICKL 2002)
July 8-11, 2002
Oslo, Norway
The International Circle of Korean Linguistics (ICKL) is pleased to
announce that the 13th ICKL Conference will be held at the University
of Oslo, Norway, during July 8-11, 2002. We invite abstracts for
talks on any aspect of Korean linguistics and language study,
including Phonetics, Phonology, Syntax, Semantics, Typology,
Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Language Acquisition,
Historical Linguistics, Korean Language Teaching, Semiotics,
Stylistics and Translation. Presentations will be 20 minutes long,
with 10 minutes following for discussion.
Abstracts should not exceed two single-spaced pages including data
and references. The abstract itself should not bear the author's
name but only the title of the paper. The following information
should accompany the abstract on a separate sheet or card: names and
affiliations of all authors, sub-field of Korean linguistics, mailing
address, e-mail address, phone/fax number if available. The text of
the abstract should be suitable for duplication in the meeting
handbook, single-spaced throughout, with no blank space between
paragraphs. Leave 1 inch for left, right, top and bottom margins.
The font should be either Times or Times New Roman 10-point.
We strongly encourage submission by e-mail (either as text or as
formatted Microsoft Word attachments).
Deadline for abstract submission: January 31, 2002
Notification of acceptance via e-mail: February 28, 2002
Please mail your abstract to:

Special Issue of Machine Translation Journal on
Embedded Machine Translation Systems
CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE of MACHINE TRANSLATION
Embedded MT Systems: Leveraging for Real World Applications
http://lamp.cfar.umd.edu/Embedded_MT_Systems/
GUEST EDITORS:

An "embedded machine translation (MT) system" is a computational
system with one or more MT engines embedded among its components. These
systems accept various well-formed and degraded types of multilingual
and multi-modal input, including
* hard-copy pages (original and OCR-ed image),
* online files (web pages, word processing files, email),
* video (image and text),
* speech (natural signal and transcribed).
>>From this range of input, such systems enable users to access the
original, foreign language information in their own language.
Traditionally, the term "MT" has been associated with the task of
single document translation. More recently, MT engines within embedded
larger systems have been used to facilitate tasks that require processing
multilingual information both within and across documents. Several
real-world applications have led to the widespread use of embedded MT
systems for cross-language tasks, such as:
* content extraction * document filtering
* information retrieval * question-answering
* summarization
This call is for original or updated research articles on embedded MT
systems. Authors should address two or more of the following foci in
their papers:
1. Input Focus, such as
- Processing methods for range of system input
- Real-time analysis of input
- Channel-specific feedback processes from system components to correct
noisy input
- Multiple document or channel input integration for summarization or
other tasks
2. MT Methods Focus, such as
- Symbolic, statistical, or hybrid techniques for translation
- Machine learning applied to construction of MT engine components
- Weighting of candidates for selection of high quality MT output
- Quick ramp-up MT engines
3. System Design Focus, such as
- Architectures to support novel cross-language tasks
- Systems with multiple MT engines
- Pre-MT compensation components or strategies that adjust speech and
OCR degraded input
- Post-MT processing of output for display to user
- Integration of system output within application software
4. Evaluation Focus, such as
- Linguistic measures of MT component performance
- Task-based measures of system effectiveness
- Experimental designs for assessing or comparing system effectiveness
- Software tools for assisting or automating evaluation process
- Algorithms
The idea of this special issue originates from workshops at
ANLP/NAACL-2000 and AMTA-98. Authors from these workshops are
encouraged to submit papers describing progress on their systems and
incorporating feedback from workshop participants. We also encourage
other researchers developing embedded MT systems to submit papers.
Note that, for this special issue, two types of papers will be
considered for review: long papers (20 pages or more) and short papers
(less than 20 pages). Longer papers are advised for research projects
that have been implemented and evaluated. Shorter papers are
appropriate for recent research initiatives. We would ideally like to
have papers of both types in the journal.
