[Corpora-List] Call for papers: 9th Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT14)

[Barry Haddow]

NINTH WORKSHOP ON STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION
(co-located with ACL 2014, 26-27 June, 2014, Baltimore, USA)
http://www.statmt.org/wmt14/


*** 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 and selection
* error analysis
* manual and automatic methods for evaluating MT
* quality estimation of MT
* scaling MT to very large data sets

SHARED TASKS

The workshop will feature four shared tasks:

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

Separate emails will announce the details about the tasks, and more 
information will
be provided on the workshop website.

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions will consist of regular full papers of 6-10 pages, plus
additional pages for references, formatted following the ACL 2014
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.
