Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2013 

Meeting Description:

Machine Translation (MT) has evolved along with different types of computer-assisted translation tools and a notable progress has been achieved in improving the quality of translations. However, in spite of the recent positive developments in translation technologies, not all problems have been solved and in particular the identification, interpretation and translation of multi-word units (MWUs) still represent open challenges, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. The low standard of analysis and translation of MWUs in translation technologies suggest that there is the need to invest in further research with the goal of improving the performance of the various translation applications.

The focus of this workshop is to address the MWU issue in a synergetic way, taking advantage of the recent developments in disciplines such as Linguistics, Translation Studies, Computational Linguistics, and Computational Phraseology.

The main aim of the Workshop is, therefore, to bring together researchers working on various aspects of MWU processing in different disciplines, in order to discuss and propose innovative ideas and methods in relation to MT and Translation Technologies. In particular, this workshop welcomes the exchange of interactions between researchers in NLP working on the computational treatment of multi-word units, experts in phraseology (including computational phraseology) working on challenging topics of their discipline, as well as translation practitioners, to the benefit of applying their latest results to advance the state of the art in MWU translation.

Call for Papers:

We invite the submissions of papers reporting original and unpublished research on multi-word unit (MWU) processing in Machine Translation and Translation Technologies. We encourage the representation of a broad range of areas including, but not limited to, the following:

- Lexical, syntactic, semantic and translational aspects in MWU representation
- Identification and acquisition of multi-word terms and their variants
- Automatic extraction of (multilingual) MWU resources
- MWUs in Computer-Assisted Translation
- Development and use of handcrafted MWU linguistic resources in MT
- Paraphrasing of MWUs applied to improving MT
- MWUs and word alignment techniques
- Identification and acquisition of non-compositional items
- Learning semantic information about MWUs from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora
- Multilingualism and MWU processing
- Integration of MWUs into rule-based and statistical MT
- MT evaluation focused on MWUs and novel automatic metrics handling MWUs
- Creation of MWU-annotated corpora with a focus on translation aspects 

Submission of Papers:

The workshop will use electronic submission through the EasyChair conference tool. Please use the following link:
