EAMT 2018: The 21th Annual Conference of the European Association for
Machine Translation

Universitat d?AlacantSant Ferran 40building03001 Alacant/Alicante,
SpainMay 28 to 30, 2018http://eamt2018.dlsi.ua.es

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites everyone
interested in machine translation, translation-related tools and
resources to participate in this conference ? developers, researchers,
users, professional translators and translation/localisation managers:
anyone who has a stake in the vision of an information world in which
language barriers and issues become less visible to the information
consumer. We especially invite researchers to describe the state of the
art and demonstrate their cutting-edge results, and professional MT
users to share their experiences. Note also that individual translators
are invited to share their insights in the use of MT and these will be
addressed at a special track.

We expect to receive manuscripts in these four categories:


(R) Research papers

Long-paper submissions (up to 10 pages including references) are invited
for reports of significant research results in any aspect of machine
translation and related areas. Such reports should include a substantial
evaluation component, or have a strong theoretical and/or methodological
contribution where results and in-depth evaluations may not be
appropriate. Papers are welcome on all topics in the areas of machine
translation and translation-related technologies, including:

*

Novel deep-learning approaches for MT and MT evaluation

*

Advances in classical MT paradigms: statistical phrase-based,
rule-based, and hybrid approaches

*

Comparison of various MT approaches

*

Technologies for MT deployment: quality estimation, domain
adaptation, etc.

*

MT in special settings: low resources, massive resources, high
volume, low computing resources

*

MT applications: translation/localisation aids, speech-to-speech,
speech-to-text, OCR, MT for user generated content (blogs, social
networks), etc.

*

Linguistic resources for MT: dictionaries, terminology, corpora, etc.

*

MT evaluation techniques, metrics, and evaluation results

*

Human factors in MT and user interfaces

*

Related multilingual technologies: natural language generation,
information retrieval, text categorisation, text summarisation,
information extraction, etc.

Papers should describe original work. They should emphasise completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. Where appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included.

Papers should be anonymized, prepared according to the templates
specified below , and no longer than 10 pages (including references);
the resulting PDFs submitted to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2018?(Submission type:
EAMT2018 Research).


(U) User studies

Short-paper submissions (up to 6 pages, including references) are
invited for reports on users' experiences with MT, be it as individual
translators, in small- or medium-size business (SMB), ?in the
enterprise, in the government, or in NGOs. Contributions are welcome on:

*

Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into a translation
production workflow (e.g. transforming terminology glossaries into
MT resources, optimizing TM/MT thresholds, mixing online and offline
tools, using interactive MT, dealing with MT confidence scores);

*

Use of MT to improve translation or localisation workflows (e.g.
reducing turnaround times, improving translation consistency,
increasing the scope of globalisation projects);

*

Managing change when implementing and using MT (e.g. switching
between multiple MT systems, limiting degradations when updating or
upgrading an MT system);

*

Implementing open-source MT in the SME or enterprise (e.g.
strategies to get support, reports on taking pilot results into full
deployment, examples of advanced customisation sought and obtained
thanks to the open-source paradigm, collaboration within open-source
MT projects);

*

Evaluation of MT in a real-world setting (e.g. error detection
strategies employed, metrics used, productivity or translation
quality gains achieved);

*

Post-editing strategies and tools (e.g. limitations of traditional
translation quality assurance tools, challenges associated with
post-editing guidelines);

*

Legal issues associated with MT, especially MT in the cloud (e.g.
copyright, privacy);

*

Use of MT in social networking or real-time communication (e.g.
enterprise support chat, multilingual content for social media);

*

Use of MT to process multilingual content for assimilation purposes
(e.g. cross-lingual information retrieval, MT for e-discovery or
spam detection, MT for highly dynamic content);

*

Use of standards for MT.

Papers should highlight problems and solutions in addition to describing
MT integration process or project settings. Where solutions do not seem
to exist, suggestions for MT researchers and developers should be
clearly emphasised. For user papers produced by academics, we require
co-authorship with the actual users.

Papers should be formatted according to the templates specified below,
no longer than 6 pages (including references), and submitted as PDF
files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2018(Submission
type: EAMT2018 User)


(P) Project/Product description

Abstract submissions (1 page) are invited to report new, interesting:

*

Tools for machine translation, computer aided translation, and the
like (including commercial products and open-source software). The
authors should be ready to present the tools in the form of demos or
posters during the conference.

*

Research projects related to machine translation. The authors should
be ready to present the projects in the form of posters during the
conference. This follows on from the successful ?project villages?
held at the last EAMT conferences.

Abstracts should be formatted according to the templates specified below
, no longer than 1 page (including references), and submitted as PDF
files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2018(Submission
type: EAMT2018 Products-Projects).


(T) Translators? track

The use of machine translation by professional translators has an
important social and economic impact due to the multilinguality of
globalized societies. They deal with MT output in a wide variety of
modalities (inside or outside CAT tools, post-editing it and interacting
with it in some way or just as inspiration, as freelancers or as
in-plant personnel, etc) and, quite often, ?the decision to use MT or
not, and how to use it, is not taken by them or discussed with them in
advance.

The machine translation community needs to hear the translators? voice
in a fresh and unfiltered way, and learn from their insights on issues
such as the following:

*

How do objective measurements of productivity impact the decision of
MT adoption? How do these affect the translator?s work?

*

Which are the ?psycho-social aspects of MT adoption, how are they
influenced by translator attitudes and (pre-)conceptions?

*

Are there different tasks in post-editing which are more acceptable
for translators than others?

*

What are the reasons for some translators? dislike of MT / post-editing?

*

Are there particular types of MT errors which influence towards
acceptance/rejection?

*

What is the role of professional translators in MT development? Are
they really key stakeholders in the MT research agenda?


Abstract submissions (1 page) are invited to report professional
translators? experiences with MT. We encourage professional translators
to speak out freely, sincerely and in a proactive way, contributing to
the debate with a challenging voice.

Abstracts should be formatted according to the templates specified
below, no longer than 1 page (including references), and submitted as
PDF files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2018(Submission
type: EAMT2018 Translator).

Publication

Accepted papers will be published in an electronic book of proceedings
with an ISBN number.

In addition, the best accepted papers will be invited to submit an
extended version undergoing a lighter reviewing process, as regular
papers in the Springer journal Machine Translation.


Programme

The conference will open with an invited talk by Sharon O?Brien (Dublin
City University) on ?Human-centred translation technology?.

In addition to the invited talk, the programme of the research and user
tracks will include oral presentations and poster sessions. Accepted
papers may be assigned to an oral or poster session, but no
differentiation will be made in the conference proceedings.

There will also be a special Translators? track, which will mostly take
place on Wednesday. It will be organized around selected, very short
oral contributions by individual translators, and will end with a round
table where the voice of individual translators will be heard along
those of researchers, developers and companies using machine translation.
