Meeting Description:

The Instituto Universitario de Lenguas Modernas y Traductores (IULMYT) and the
Department of English Studies: Linguistics and Literature of Universidad
Complutense of Madrid (UCM) are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the
International Symposium PACOR 2018 on Parallel Corpora at the Faculty of
Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) on November 5-7, 2018.

Research on parallel corpora spans a number of topics from contrastive
linguistics and translation studies, lexicography, language teaching and
learning to computer-assisted and machine translation. In the Natural Language
Processing (NLP) community, parallel corpora are a key resource as training
data for statistical machine translation, and for building or extending
bilingual lexicons and terminologies. However, high-quality parallel corpora
that are large enough to produce statistically reliable results are scarce,
despite the development of automated methods to mine them from the Web. In
recent years this scarcity of parallel corpora has motivated research on
comparable corpora –pairs of monolingual corpora compiled according to the
same set of criteria in different languages– to mine information about
possible translations.


Call for Papers:

Parallel Corpora: Creation and Applications
International Symposium PACOR 2018
November 5-7, 2018
Universidad Complutense of Madrid (Spain)

Website: http://eventos.ucm.es/go/PaCOR2018 

We welcome submissions on the following (but not limited to) research strands:

1. Design, analysis, annotation and visualization of parallel and comparable
corpora for research and applications in the areas of contrastive linguistics,
human translation and translation learning, computer-assisted and machine
translation, language teaching and learning, lexicography and terminology. 

2. Tools and methods for the creation, annotation and exploitation of
parallel/comparable corpora, such as:  

- Automatic and semi-automatic methods for building parallel/comparable
corpora
- Methods to mine parallel and comparable corpora from the Web
- Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
- Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora 
- Multimedia/multi-modal parallel and comparable corpora

3. Presentation of existing bilingual parallel and comparable corpora, in
which Spanish is included or multilingual corpora in which Spanish is the
pivot language. 

A selection of papers based on contributions presented in this conference will
be published in a special issue of an international journal and/or a
prestigious academic publisher.
