Meeting Description:
The forthcoming International Conference ‘New Trends in Translation and
Technology’ (NeTTT’2020) will take place on the island of Rhodes, Greece,
28-30 September 2020.
The objective of the conference is to bring together academics in linguistics,
translation studies, machine translation, translation tools and natural
language processing, as well as developers, practitioners, language service
providers and vendors who work on or are interested in different aspects of
technology for translation. The conference will be a distinctive event for
discussing the latest developments and practices in translation and
technology. NeTTT’2020 invites all professionals who would like to learn about
recent trends, present their latest work, and/or share their experiences in
the field; the conference will be an idea place to establish business and
research contacts, collaborations and new ventures.
Call for Papers:
The conference will feature a research track and an industry track and will
take the form of presentations (peer-reviewed research and industry
presentations, as well as keynote speeches), and posters. The authors of the
accepted abstracts will be offered the opportunity to write up full papers
which will be published as open-access conference e-proceedings.
NeTTT’2020 will be preceded by a two-day summer school on Neural Machine
Translation.
Conference topics:
We expect contributions to the following topics:
(A) Research track: Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Machine Translation (MT) – any MT-related research activity, from
development to human factors
- CAT tools (Translation Memory (TM) systems, integration of Machine
Translation in TM systems)
- Quality assessment and quality control
- Speech Technology
- Terminology management
- Crowdsourcing
- Social media
- Translation Workflow and Management
- Localisation
- Technology adoption by translators and industry
- Training (to include university programmes on translation and interpreting
and training in the dynamically changing industry)
- New and emerging language and mobile technologies, tools and resources which
can support the work of translators, localisers, subtitlers and interpreters
- Ethical issues in translation and technology
(B) User track: Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into the translation
workflow
- Translation Memory systems in practice
- Integration of Translation Memory with Machine Translation
- Terminology tools
- QA and MT evaluation in business settings
- Post-editing strategies and tools
- Legal and ethical issues associated with translation technology (e.g.
copyright, privacy)
- Using MT in social media or business communication
- Impact of MT on translators’ work: ergonomics, invoicing issues, new skill
sets required
- Freelance translators’ independent use of MT
- MT and usability
- MT in crisis settings
- Translation technologies training
Keynote Speakers:
Sharon O’Brien, Dublin City University
Marcelo Federico, Amazon
Marco Turchi, FBK Trento
Submissions and Publication:
NeTTT’2020 invites two types of abstract submissions: (i) proposals for oral
presentations and (ii) proposals for poster presentations. The proposals for
oral presentations will be around 750 words and the proposals for poster
presentations – around 500 words. These ‘extended abstracts’ will be reviewed
by at least two members of the Programme Committee. The authors of the
accepted abstracts will be offered the opportunity to write up full papers
should they wish to, in addition to being offered a presentation slot at the
conference. Papers that have been or will be submitted to other conferences or
publications must be marked as such at the time of submission in the START
submission form. A paper to be published at NeTTT must be withdrawn from other
conferences. Full papers will not exceed 7 pages if they are accepted for oral
presentations and 4 pages if accepted as poster presentations. The submitted
full papers will undergo reviewing by two more members of the Programme
Committee who will make suggestions for improvements or revisions (if
applicable) to ensure the quality of the final version. The final version of
the accepted papers will be published in e-proceedings with an assigned ISBN
and DOI.
The submission will be electronic, using the Softconf START conference
management system, which will be available on the conference website soon. The
follow-up calls will provide more further submission details.
