Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the Conference on Human-Informed
Translation and Interpreting Technology (HiT-IT 2023). HiT-IT 2023 is
a follow-up of the successful HiT-IT workshops, which took place in
Varna, Bulgaria in parallel to the international conferences RANLP
2017 and RANLP 2019. The conference will take place in Naples, Italy
between 7 and 9 July 2023. The conference will be preceded by
tutorials on 6 July 2023.

HiT-IT seeks to act as a meeting point for (and invites) researchers
working in translation and interpreting technologies, practicing
technology-minded translators and interpreters, companies and
freelancers providing services in translation and interpreting as well
as companies developing tools for translators and interpreters. In
addition to the accepted papers for presentation, HiT-IT will feature
invited talks by prominent experts as well as presentations and panels
hosted by practitioners.

Most of the existing conferences are either focused too much on the
automatic side of translation or concentrate largely on translators’
and interpreters’ professions. HiT-IT seeks to fill in this gap by
allowing the discussion, the scientific comparison, and the mutual
enrichment of professionals from both fields. HiT-IT 2023 addresses
the development of translation tools and the experience translators
and interpreters have with these tools as well as the development of
machine translation engines, incorporating human (translators and
interpreters’) expertise. The conference also offers a discussion
forum and publishing opportunity for professionals from the human
translation and interpreting fields (e.g. translators including
subtitlers, interpreters, respeakers, researchers in translation and
interpreting studies) and for researchers and developers working on
translation and interpreting technology and machine translation. The
idea behind this conference attendees to hear the other side’s
position and to voice their opinions on how to make translation
technologies closer to what would be accepted by large audiences, by
incorporating human expertise into them.

Final Call for Papers:

*** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 30 APRIL 2023***

Allowed paper length: maximum 12 pages (without references).

late breaking research, papers at a more conceptual stage, and other
