CALL FOR PAPERS:

OPEN SOURCE TOOLS FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION

The Machine Translation Marathon 2012, MTM12, will take place in Edinburgh, 
Scotland from September 3-8th 2012,  full details will be available in due 
course.  MTM12 is supported by the EU under the  MosesCore project 
(http://www.mosescore.eu)

The MT Marathon will again host an Open Source Convention to advance the  
state of the art in machine translation. We invite developers of open source 
tools to present their work and submit a paper of up to 10 pages  that 
describes the underlying methodology and includes instructions on 
how to use the tools.

We are looking for stand-alone tools and extensions of existing tools, such as 
the Moses open source system. Accepted papers will be presented during the MT 
Marathon and published in 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
   *   Visualisation, annotation or debugging tools
   *   Tools for human translators
   *   Interfaces for web-based services or APIs
   *   Extensions of existing tools
   *   Other tools for Machine Translation

The papers from previous Marathons are available online among other PBML 
articles (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pbml-91-100.html).

Papers will be reviewed by two reviewers appointed by the program
committee. Most of the accepted papers will be printed in PBML in time
for the MT Marathon, some papers may require substantial revisions and
may be postponed to subsequent PBML issues.
