Fourth Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT'19)
               
http://www.idiap.ch/workshop/DiscoMT

We invite submissions to the Fourth Workshop on Discourse in Machine
Translation, held in conjunction with EMNLP 2019, in Hong Kong.  The first
three DiscoMT workshops were held in 2013 at ACL in Sofia, in 2015 at EMNLP in
Lisbon, and in 2017 at EMNLP in Copenhagen. Keynote presentations will be
given by Prof. Qun Liu (Noah's Ark Lab, Huawei) and Dr. Kellie Webster (Google
AI).

Topics

- discourse processing in support of MT:
. textual coherence, including anaphora, coreference, tense, aspect and
modality
. textual cohesion, including lexical consistency
. discourse structure, including use of connectives and information
structuring devices
. topic structure
. consistency in style and register;
- MT techniques for obtaining document-level consistency and domain
adaptability;
- MT techniques for structured documents;
- methods and algorithms to handle discourse-level phenomena in all approaches
to MT, including neural, statistical and rule-based MT;
- uses of MT techniques in processing discourse-level phenomena;
- techniques and resources for evaluating the effect of efforts targeting
discourse-level phenomena in MT;
- quantitative studies of the impact of discourse-level phenomena on MT
systems, including discourse-aware ones;
- annotation of multilingual corpus resources with discourse-level linguistic
information;
- use of language technology to support research in translation studies and
contrastive linguistics;
- linguistic studies of discourse with direct relevance for MT.
