[Corpora-List] CFP - PBML Special Issue on Open Source Tools for Machine Translation

[Loïc BARRAULT]

                        CALL FOR PAPERS:
   OPEN SOURCE TOOLS FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION
 The Fifth Machine Translation Marathon, which will take place September
13-18 in Le Mans, France, is hosting an Open Source Convention to
 advance the state of the art in machine translation. The MT Marathon
is organised by the computer science laboratory of Le Mans (LIUM) and the
 University of Le Mans on behalf of the EuroMatrixPlus Consortium.
 We invite developers of open source tools to present their work and
 submit a paper of up to 10 pages that (a) describes the underlying
methodology and (b) includes instructions how to use the tools.
 We are looking for stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools,
such as the Moses open source systems. Accepted papers will be
 presented during the MT Marathon and published as a special issue of
the Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics (
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml).
 Possible topics:
 * training of machine translation models
* machine translation decoders
* tuning of machine translation systems
 * evaluation of machine translation
* visualization, annotation or debugging tools
 * tools for human translators
* interfaces for web-based services or APIs
 * extensions of existing tools
* other tools for machine translation
 This is the third time that the MT Marathon will host the Open Source
Convention. The papers from previous years are available online:
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml-91-100.html
 Papers will be reviewed by two reviewers appointed by the program
committee
 e.g. papers which will be marked as the best by the reviewers (with no
substantial
modifications required) will be printed as usual in the PBML journal in time
for the MT Marathon.
 Others will be printed after requested modifications in the next PBML
issue.
 Important dates:
 Deadline for paper submission: August 1 2010
 Notification of acceptance: August 7 2010
Camera-ready paper due: August 14 2010
 Presentations: September 13-17 2010 (at the MT Marathon in Le Mans)
Camera-ready (next issue) : 15 December 2010
 Please send full non-anonymous submissions in PDF to Philipp Koehn <
pkoehn at inf.ed.ac.uk> and the full Xe(La)TeX source for technical pre-review
to Ondřej Bojar <bojar at ufal.mff.cuni.cz>.
