Second Call for Papers

EAMT 2011

THE 15TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION

Faculty of Arts, Erasmushuis
Leuven, Belgium, May 30-31, 2011
http://www.eamt2011.eu

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) is pleased to announce 
that the 15th Annual Conference of the European Association for
Machine Translation will be held in Leuven, Belgium, May 30-31 2011. The venue 
of the conference is the Faculty of Arts of the Katholieke Universiteit 
Leuven.

The EAMT cordially invites everyone interested in machine translation and 
translation-related tools and resources to participate in this conference — 
developers, researchers, users, professional translators, managers, marketing 
experts: anyone who has a stake in the vision of an information world in 
which language issues become transparent to the information consumer. We 
especially invite users from government and the translation industry to share 
their experiences, researchers to describe the state of the art and show 
their cutting-edge results, developers to describe what is happening in the 
Internet marketplace, researchers looking to new capabilities, and 
visionaries to describe the future.

During the conference there will be sessions including research papers, 
reports on users' experiences and invited talks. This will allow participants 
from research, business and government to get together to explore how to use 
machine translation technology to conquer language barriers and overcome the 
digital divide.

SCOPE

We expect to receive full papers in these two categories:

(R) Research papers: Submissions are invited for reports of significant 
research results in any aspect of machine translation and related areas. Such 
reports should include a substantial evaluation component. Contributions are 
welcome on all topics in the area of Machine Translation or 
translation-related technologies including: 

* MT methodologies and techniques
* Speech translation: speech to text, speech to speech
* Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.)
* Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion tools for 
lexica, etc.)
* Practical MT systems (MT for professionals, MT for multilingual eCommerce, 
MT for localization, etc.)
* Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion tools for 
lexica, etc.)
* MT in multilingual public service (eGovernment etc.)
* MT for the web
* MT embedded in other services
* MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results
* Dictionaries and lexica for MT
* Text and speech corpora for MT
* Standards in text and lexicon encoding for MT
* Human factors in MT and user interfaces
* Related multilingual technologies (natural language generation, information 
retrieval, text categorization, text summarization,
 information extraction, etc.)

(U) User studies: Submissions are invited for reports on users' experiences 
with MT, in business, government, or NGOs. Contributions are welcome on:

* Use of MT to provide localization of data-driven, dynamic, or user-specific 
information
* Use of MT to reduce localization effort (time, cost)
* Use of MT in collaborative projects and social networking
* Ways in which MT can be used to increase the scope of globalization projects
* Managing change when implementing MT systems. Challenges (IT, personnel, 
implementation)
* Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into a translation 
production workflow 
* Implementing open-source MT in the corporation: challenges when taking pilot 
results into full deployment (support, resources, infrastructure, advance 
customisation, system maintenance)
* Evaluation of MT in a real-world setting: metrics.
* Post-editing strategies: guidelines/support for translators/LSP's
* Portability of MT systems across languages and domains

Papers should highlight problems and solutions and not merely describe MT 
integration process or project settings.

PROGRAMME

The two-day programme will include invited talks, oral presentations and 
poster sessions. Accepted papers may be assigned to an oral or poster 
session, but no differences will be made in the conference proceedings.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work 
rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of 
completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation 
results should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, 
originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the 
conference, and interest to the attendees.

Submissions presented at the EAMT-2011 conference should mostly contain new 
material that has not been presented at any other meeting with publicly 
available proceedings. Papers that are being submitted in parallel to other 
conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers 
that contain significant overlap with previously published work.

EAMT 2011 will use electronic submission through the EasyChair conference 
tool. To submit a research paper, go to the submission website at: 

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2011 

and follow the instructions. See "Important dates" for the final submission 
deadline.

Submissions should be anonymised (no authors, affiliations or addresses, and 
no explicit self-reference), be no longer than eight (8) pages (A4 size), and 
in PDF format. Initial versions of papers must conform to the format defined 
by the EAMT templates available at the conference website 
(http://www.eamt2011.eu)

If you encounter any problem regarding submission, please do not hesitate to 
contact the programme co-chairs. For all other queries (e.g. visas, 
accommodation, payments) please contact the local organisers.
