Meeting Description:

The Gender-Inclusive Translation Technologies Workshop (GITT) is set
out to be the first workshop that focuses on gender-inclusive language
in translation and cross-lingual scenarios. The workshop aims to bring
together researchers from diverse areas, including industry partners,
MT practitioners, and language professionals. GITT aims to encourage
multidisciplinary research that develops and interrogates both
solutions and challenges for addressing bias and promoting gender
inclusivity in MT and translation tools.

*Topics*

GITT invites technical as well as non-technical submissions, which
consist of experimental, theoretical or methodological contributions.
We explicitly welcome interdisciplinary submissions and submissions
that focus on innovative, non-binary linguistic strategies and/or with
sociolinguistically-informed perspectives. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- Models or methods for assessing and mitigating gender bias
- New resources for inclusive language and gender translation (e.g.,
datasets, translation memories, dictionaries)
- Social, cross-lingual, and ethical implications of gender bias
- Qualitative and quantitative analyses on the potential limits of
current approaches to gender bias in translation and MT, error
taxonomies as well as best practices and guidelines
- User-centric case studies on the impact of biased language and/or
mitigating approaches which can include translators, post-editors, or
monolingual MT users

GITT is also open to other non-listed topics aligned with the scope of
the workshop and works focusing on non-textual modalities (e.g.,
audiovisual translation)

*Submission*

We welcome three types of submissions:

1. Research papers: of at least 4 up to 10 pages (including
references)
2. Extended Abstracts: up to 2 pages (including references)

Accepted papers and extended abstracts consisting of novel work will
be published online as proceedings in the ACL Anthology.

3. Research Communications: up to 2 pages (including reference)

We include a parallel submission policy for papers accepted in other
venues in 2022. Research communications will not be included in the
proceedings, but will serve to promote the dissemination of research
aligned with the scope of the workshop.

Submissions should adhere to the EAMT 2023 guidelines and style
templates (PDF, LaTeX, Word) and be uploaded on EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=gitt2023

*Activities*

During the workshop, there will be a guided discussion starting from
examples of gender bias in MT output collected via the DeBiasByUs
website. Attendees are invited to contribute their own examples
beforehand via DeBiasByUs (https://debiasbyus.ugent.be/share/). More
information about the project and the activity can be found on the WS
website.
