CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
7th International Conference on Theoretical and Methodological Issues
in Machine Translation (TMI-97)
July 23-25, 1997
Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
The seventh conference in the now well-established TMI series will take
place in July 1997 in the historic city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The
date will mark (roughly) the 50th anniversary of Warren Weaver's first
ideas about MT, in a letter to Norbert Wiener and a meeting with Andrew
Booth: events which launched modern MT research.
TMI-97 has three major themes:
Yesterday
-- 'Old' papers (published before 1965), showing how they are still
somewhat relevant to MT today...
Today
-- Reflections on current trends in MT, especially
the move towards hybrid solutions involving both established and
novel techniques; focusing on particular problems and
trends rather than overall descriptions of existing systems
(focus on theoretical and methodological rather than
implementational issues)...
Tomorrow
-- How MT is being integrated with new technologies and media, for
example delivery via the Internet, speech translation, MT as part
of document collection processing, MT and summarization,
information retrieval and extraction, multimodality and
multimedia, etc.
TMI-97 Officers:
General Chair: Sergei Nirenburg, Computing Research Lab, NMSU, USA
Program Committee Chair: Harold Somers, UMIST, Manchester, UK
Publicity and Local Arrangements: Charlene Shepard and James Hamilton,
Computing Research Lab, NMSU, USA

Conference Site
The conference meetings will be held on the campus of St. John's College
in Santa Fe.
Accommodations
Fort Marcy Hotel Suites have been selected as the primary conference
accommodations. The hotel is low-rise and consists of 1-, 2- and
3-bedroom air-conditioned suites, with one or two bathrooms, fully
equipped kitchens, living rooms equipped with TVs, video and CD players.
All the suites also feature fireplaces, though in July you will probably
not need them. We were able to negotiate favorable rates for the
participants of TMI-97. Final arrangements, which should be completed in
the near future, will be published on the conference web page.
Student level accommodations will also be available in the dormitories
at St. John's College.
