Meeting Description: 

The forthcoming International Conference ‘New Trends in Translation and
Technology’ (NeTTT’2020) will take place on the island of Rhodes, Greece,
28-30 September 2020.

The objective of the conference is to bring together academics in linguistics,
translation studies, machine translation and natural language processing, as
well as developers, practitioners, language service providers and vendors who
work on or are interested in different aspects of technology for translation.
The conference will be a distinctive and interdisciplinary event for
discussing the latest developments and practices in translation technology.
NeTTT’2020 invites all professionals who would like to learn about recent
trends, present their latest work, and/or share their experiences in the
field. The conference will also be an ideal place to establish business and
research contacts, collaborations and new ventures.

The conference will take the form of presentations (peer-reviewed research and
user presentations, keynote speeches), demos (demos from sponsors) and
posters; it will also feature panel discussions and tutorials/workshops. The
presentations will be published as open-access conference e-proceedings.
NeTTT’2020 will be preceded by a two-day summer school on Neural Machine
Translation. Keynote speakers to be announced soon.
