CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Statistical Multilingual Analysis for Retrieval and Translation - 
Barcelona 2009
http://patterns.enm.bris.ac.uk/smart-dissemination-workshop

Barcelona May 13, 2009
Venue: Aula Teleensenyament (Tele-teaching room) in building B3
of the Campus Nord of the UPC

A joint event of SMART project - PASCAL Network jointly-located with 
EAMT-2009

Co-organizers: Marco Turchi, Nello Cristianini, Xavier Carreras, Tijl de Bie

The aim of this workshop is to disseminate scientific results produced
by the SMART project to the larger technical and scientific community
working on Machine Translation. To facilitate this inter-exchange, it
will be co-located with the EAMT 2009 - 13th Annual Conference of the
European Association for Machine Translation that will be held May
14-15, 2009 Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

A joint event of SMART project - PASCAL Network

SMART (Statistical Multilingual Analysis for Retrieval and
Translation, www.smart-project.eu) is a 3-year "Specific Target
Research Project" (STReP) funded by the European Commission. SMART is
an attempt to address different problems of Machine Translation and
Cross-Language Information Retrieval by the methods of modern
Statistical Learning.

In the first two years of the project, the scientific focus has been
on developing new and more effective statistical approaches while
ensuring that existing know-how is duly taken into account. This was
done by bringing together leading research institutions in Statistical
Learning, Machine Translation and Textual Information Access.

PASCAL 2 (Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and Computational
Learning 2) is a 5-year "Network of Excellence" (NoE) funded by the
European Commission, focusing on Machine Learning, Statistics and
Optimization.

The aim of this workshop is to disseminate scientific results and
share experiences produced by the SMART project to the larger
technical and scientific community. The SMART consortium considers
this workshop to be a great opportunity for science investigations,
creating both scientific and commercial opportunities as well as
technological challenges to researchers.
