Digital Labs on the campus of National University of Singapore from 13
to 17 September 1999. MT Summit VII, which is the last conference of
the 20th century in the premier series of conferences on machine
translation, will provide a forum for discussing the prospect of MT
and related areas in the coming century. MT Summit VII will feature
an expanded program including research papers, reports on users'
experiences, discussions of policy issues, invited talks, panels,
exhibitions, tutorials, and workshops. AAMT invites all who are
interested in any aspect of machine translation - researchers,
developers, providers, users, and watchers - to participate in the
conference. Conference Schedule:

MT Summit VII seeks original papers in all aspects of machine
translation. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Methodologies for MT (rule-based, knowledge-based, analogy-based,
statistics-based, etc.)
- Practical MT systems (MT for professional translation, MT for the
Internet, MT for localization, etc.)
- Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.)
- Speech and dialogue translation
- Natural language analysis and generation techniques
- Dictionaries and lexicons for MT systems
- Text corpora for MT and knowledge extraction from corpora
- Human factors in MT and user interfaces
- Evaluation techniques
- Standards in text and lexicon encoding for MT
- Cross-lingual information retrieval
- MT and related technologies (information retrieval, text
categorization, text summarization, information extraction, etc.)
There will be three categories of papers:
(1) Research papers: Submissions are invited for reports of
significant research results in any aspect of machine translation and
related areas. Such reports should include a substantial evaluative
component. Papers should be in English, not longer than 5,000 words.
(2) System presentations with demos: Submissions are invited for
reports on the design, implementation, operation and evaluation of
operational and prototype systems. Reports should be in English, not
longer than 2,000 words.
(3) User studies: Submissions are invited for reports on users'
experiences with applying MT to some task, evaluation of MT systems,
analysis of MT markets, etc. Reports should be in English, not longer
than 5,000 words.
All types of papers should be submitted to the address below and must
be received by the indicated date. Papers should include a cover page
with the following information:
- paper title,
- author(s)' name(s), affiliation(s), address(es), and e-mail
address(es),
- 200 word abstract,
- for research papers: up to 5 keywords,
- for system presentations with demos: the word "System presentation
with demo", and the hardware, software and network requirement for the
demonstration,
- for user studies: the word "User study".
Please mail 4 hardcopies of the paper to:
