Location: Malaga, Spain 
Contact Person: Johanna Monti
Meeting Email: jmonti at uniss.it

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation 

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2015 

Meeting Description:

“Endorsed by EUROPHRAS, European Society of Phraseology; the ICT COST action Parsing and multi-word expressions. Towards linguistic precision and computational efficiency in natural language processing (PARSEME); the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX); and SIGLEX’s Multiword Expressions Section (SIGLEX-MWE).”

Following the success of the MT SUMMIT 2013 Workshop on Multi-word Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology, we are announcing the 2015 edition to be held in conjunction with the Europhras conference on Computerised and Corpus-based Approaches to Phraseology: Monolingual and Multilingual Perspectives (Malaga, Spain, 29 June – 1 July 2015). The Workshop will provide a forum for researchers working in the fields of Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Translation Studies and Computational Phraseology to discuss recent advances in the area of multi-word unit processing and to coordinate research efforts across disciplines.

In recent years, growing attention has been paid to integrating MWU in machine translation and translation technology tools, as it has been acknowledged that it is not possible to create large scale applications without properly handling MWUs of all kinds. As a matter of fact, researchers are now addressing the problems posed by MWU processing and translation using different formalisms and techniques, such as: automatic recognition of MWUs in a monolingual or bilingual setting; alignment and paraphrasing methodologies; development, features and usefulness of handcrafted monolingual and bilingual linguistic resources and grammars.

The aim of the Workshop is 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 Machine Translation and Translation Technology. In particular, this workshop welcomes the interactions between researchers in Natural Language Processing 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.

Workshop Organisers:

Gloria Corpas Pastor (Universidad de Málaga - Spain)
Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton - United Kingdom) 
Johanna Monti (University of Sassari- Italy)
Violeta Seretan (University of Geneva - Switzerland)

Call for Papers:

MUMTTT 2015 is the second event of a series dedicated to Multiword Unit processing and translation in the context of Machine Translation and Translation Technology. We are interested in original research related (but not limited) to the following topics:

- Lexical, syntactic, semantic and translational aspects in MWU representation
- Collostructional analysis and MWU
- Automatic extraction of multilingual MWU resources
- Identification and acquisition of multi-word terms and their variants
- Development and use of handcrafted MWU linguistic resources in MT
- Development of corpora for extraction and translation of MWUs
- MWUs in Computer-assisted Translation
- MWUs in Machine Translation
- Paraphrasing of MWUs applied to the improving of MT
- MWUs and word alignment techniques
- Learning semantic information about MWUs from monolingual, parallel or comparable corpora
- Multilingualism and MWU processing
- MWU-centred MT evaluation
- Compilation of resources for extraction and translation of multiword units
- Creation of MWU-annotated corpora with a focus on translation

Abstract Submission and Important Dates:

Abstract length: between 400 and 500 words (without bibliography). Abstracts are to be submitted through the conference online management system.

Deadline for abstract submission: 15 March 2015
Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2015
Submission of full papers (according to style sheet): 15 July 2015

PARSEME Grants:

PARSEME will fund the travel and stay at the MUMTTT 2015 workshop for about 20 participants from the PARSEME member countries. For any information please refere to: http://typo.uni-konstanz.de/parseme/index.php/events/118-mumttt-workshop-at-europhras-15
