Hi Ken,

Thank you for your prompt answer. I have updated the code and added the
--discount_fallback option and it works!

Once again thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,
Konstantinos

We are pleased to announce a Massive Open On-line Course on Machine
Translation that will start in early October. The course entitled:
"Approaches to Machine Translation: rule-based, statistical and hybrid" is
an opportunity to learn about the theory behind MT algorithms; how major
on-line MT systems work; and how to manage open-source software to
reproduce prototypes of such systems under a do-it-yourself basis. The MOOC
is offered by the Universitat Polit?cnica de Catalunya under the CANVAS
platform. Students that successfully pass tests and assignments will be
granted a certificate by the same University.



For more information and registration, please visit:

With Best Wishes,
Marta R. Costa-juss?

Volume on Multi-Word Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology

CALL FOR PAPERS

Background: Following the successful workshop on Multi-word Units in Machine
Translation and Translation Technology held in conjunction with the MT SUMMIT
2013 conference in Nice (MUMTTT 2013, 3 September 2013), the editors invite
submissions for a volume on the same topics to be published by John Benjamins
during the second half of 2015.
This volume will feature contributions reporting the recent advances of the
volume topics which cut across Linguistics, Computational Linguistics,
Translation Studies and Computational Phraseology s. We invite submissions
describing substantial work related to the processing of multi word units
(MWUs) on topics including but not limited to, the ones listed below. Whereas
authors of the workshop papers are invited to submit an extended and revised
version of their MUMTTT 2013 papers, this call is open to all researchers
working on the topics of the volume and willing to share their work.
Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers.

Topics: the list below is indicative but not exhaustive.
Lexical, syntactic, semantic and translational aspects in MWU representation
Collostructional analysis and MWU
Automatic extraction of multilingual MWU resources
Identification and acquisition of multi-word terms and their variants
Development and use of handcrafted MWU linguistic resources in MT
MWUs in Computer-Assisted Translation
MWUs in Machine Translation
Paraphrasing of MWUs applied to improving MT
MWUs and word alignment techniques
Learning semantic information about MWUs from monolingual, parallel or
comparable corpora
Multilingualism and MWU processing
MWU-centred MT evaluation
Corpora annotated with MWUs for translation studies
Submission: We invite expressions of interest by 1 November 2014 by email to
both contact editors below, including the chapter title, list of prospective
authors and affiliation, as well as a 250-word abstract of your contribution.
The full submission is expected to be approximatively 5,000 words in length,
excluding citations and appendices, and should be formatted according to the
publisher?s author guidelines
(https://benjamins.com/jbp/additional/jb-guidelines-manuscript-submission-apa.pdf).
The deadline for the final contributions is 31 March 2015.
Submissions should describe original work, not published before or under
consideration for publication elsewhere. Each submission will be evaluated by
the scientific committee according to its scientific and technical merit,
usefulness of the approach presented, and relevance to the volume scope.

Schedule
Expression of interest: 1 November 2014
Full submission: 28 February 2015
Author notification: 15 April 2015
Final version: 15 May 2015

Editors
Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom)
Johanna Monti (University of Sassari, Italy) ?
Gloria Corpas Pastor (University of M?laga, Spain)
Violeta Seretan (University of Geneva, Switzerland)

Contact Details
Johanna Monti (jmonti@uniss.it) and Gloria Corpas Pastor (lexytrad@uma.es).
