Subject: Workshop on Computer Technology in Translation

 
Full Title: Workshop on Computer Technology in Translation 

Date: 02-Dec-2020 - 04-Dec-2020
Location: Leipzig, Germany 
Contact Person: Marcel Guhl
Meeting Email: guhl at uni-leipzig.de

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Lexicography; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2020 

Meeting Description:

While first attempts at machine translation relied on sophisticated linguistic
transformation rules, modern approaches tend to make use of statistical
techniques and neural networks. This development points to the question as to
what role formal, rule-based descriptions of language can play in the future
of translation technology. Issues to be discussed may include the role that
linguistic rules currently play in translation technologies such as machine
translation, computer-aided translation (TM tools, smart dictionaries,
terminology extraction, text alignment), and translation scripting (for
instance Mozilla Fluent, ICU MessageFormat, Facebook Translation) and how
linguistic rules might help improve these technologies. We invite papers that
address these issues from a formal linguistic or computational perspective.


Call for Papers: 

Abstracts must not exceed 2 pages (including examples, graphs, references).
They should have 2.5 cm or 1 inch margins, should be single-spaced, in a font
size not smaller than 12 pt. Examples, graphs etc. should be intertwined in
the text (rather than placed at the end).

Abstracts must be anonymous (nothing in the abstract or the document should
identify the authors), and must be submitted in PDF format via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fdsl14).

An individual may submit at most one single and one co-authored abstract or
two co-authored abstracts, but not with the same co-author.

Deadline for the receipt of abstracts: May 15, 2020

Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2020
