[Corpora-List] Call for Papers: INTERACTIVE AND ADAPTIVE MACHINE TRANSLATION

[Philipp Koehn]

First Call for Papers:

AMTA 2014 WORKSHOP ON INTERACTIVE AND ADAPTIVE MACHINE TRANSLATION
22 October 2014, Vancouver, Canada

http://www.statmt.org/iamt/

The increasing use of machine translation in the workflow of
professional translators creates demand for machine translation
technology that provides more interactive collaboration, learns from
its errors and adapts to the translators' style and adapts the
underlying machine translation system online to the specific needs of
the translator for the given task.

The next generation of computer aided translation (CAT) tools has to
move beyond the use of static machine translation for human
post-editing into a much richer division of labor between man and
machine that takes full advantage of man's understanding of content
and machine's greater ability to quickly process large amounts of
data.

On the other hand, these tools will allow a more friendly interaction
between the human and the machine through the use of different
modalities of interactions as speech, gaze tracking, e-pen, etc.
Finally, all of these issues will lead to an increase of the
productivity of the professional translators.

Such tools are in development in a number of research labs across the
world, one example is the open source workbench developed by the
EU-funded projects Matecat and Casmacat, led by the organizers of this
workshop.

This workshop brings to together researchers in this nascent subfield
of machine translation. The workshop will divide its schedule about
equally between invited talks by leading researchers and paper
presentations on more recent advances.

We encourage submissions including, but not limited to:

- rapid user and project adaptation
- online learning methods
- active learning
- domain adaptation
- interactive translation prediction
- use of confidence measures to inform translators
- quality estimation to filter/rank translation suggestions
- automatic terminology support
- integration of translation memory and machine translation
- computer assisted writing in the context of translation
- novel types of assistance
- multimodal interaction: speech, writing, gestures, gaze.
- user studies on advanced computer aided translation
