SEVENTH WORKSHOP ON STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION
(co-located with NAACL 2012, June 7-8, 2012, Montreal, Quebec, Canada)

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

We invite the submission of scientific papers on topics related to MT.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * word-based, phrase-based, syntax-based SMT
  * using comparable corpora for SMT
  * incorporating linguistic information into SMT
  * decoding
  * system combination
  * error analysis
  * manual and automatic method for evaluating MT
  * scaling MT to very large data sets

SHARED TASKS

The workshop will feature three shared tasks:

  * a translation task
  * a quality estimation task
  * a task to test automatic evaluation metrics

Separate emails will announce the details about the tasks.

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions will consist of regular full papers of 6-10 pages, plus additional
pages for references, formatted following the NAACL 2012 guidelines. In addition,
shared task participants will be invited to submit short papers (4-6 pages) describing
their systems or their evaluation metrics. Both submission and review processes will
be handled electronically.

We encourage individuals who are submitting research papers to evaluate their
approaches using the training resources provided by this workshop and past
workshops, so that their experiments can be repeated by others using these
publicly available corpora.
