Meeting Description: 

The First Workshop on Corpus Generation and Corpus Augmentation for Machine
Translation (CoCo4MT) will be co-located with AMTA 2022 in Orlando, Florida,
USA on September 16th, 2022. 

CoCo4MT sets out to be the first workshop centered around research that
focuses on corpora creation, cleansing, and augmentation techniques
specifically for machine translation. 

We hope that submissions will provide high-quality corpora that is available
publicly for download and can be used to increase machine translation
performance thus encouraging new dataset creation for multiple languages that
will, in turn, provide a general workshop to consult for corpora needs in the
future.

Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
- Difficulties with using existing corpora (e.g., political considerations or
domain limitations) and their effects on final MT systems,
- Strategies for collecting new MT datasets (e.g., via crowdsourcing),
- Data augmentation techniques,
- Data cleansing and denoising techniques, 
- Quality control strategies for MT data,
- Exploration of datasets for pretraining or auxiliary tasks for training MT
systems.
