CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL
ISSUES IN MACHINE TRANSLATION (TMI95)
July 5-7 1995
University of Leuven
Centre for Computational Linguistics
Leuven, Belgium
The Sixth International Conference on Theoretical and
Methodological Issues in Machine Translation (TMI95) will be held
from July 5 to 7 1995 at the University of Leuven, Belgium. It
will precede the Fifth edition of the MT Summit, hosted by the EC
in Luxembourg from July 10 to 14.
TMI95 will focus on three major topics: computational semantics
for MT, MT of spoken language, and the use of
sublanguage/controlled language for MT.
=======================================================================
PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
Topical papers will have a 40 minute presentation ( + 5 minutes
for discussion); short papers will be presented in two parallel
15 minute sessions (+ 5 minutes for discussion).
