AMTA 2014 Workshop on Post-Editing Technology and Practice (WPTP3)
October 26, 2014 -- Vancouver, Canada
https://sites.google.com/site/wptp2014/


Following the success of the AMTA 2012 and MT Summit 2013 Workshops on
Post-Editing Technology and Practice, we are organizing WPTP3.
Once again, this workshop will be an opportunity for post-editing
practitioners and
researchers to get together and openly discuss the weaknesses and
strengths of existing technology, to properly and objectively assess
post-editing effectiveness, to establish better practices, and propose
tools and technological post-editing solutions that are built around
the needs of users.

This one-day workshop will be held during the AMTA conference, in Vancouver
(Canada), October 26, 2014. The format of the workshop was changed to
make
it more interactive this year: the morning session will feature an invited
speaker and oral presentations of original work. The afternoon session will
include a longer poster/demo session preceded by short "poster-boaster"
presentations, and will conclude with a panel discussion. The panel will
involve actors from various areas of the post-editing scene (translators
and post-editors, translation trainers and scholars, LSPs, technology
researchers and industrials) and will be moderated by AMTA president
Mike Dillinger.


Topics of interest:

We are particularly interested in attracting
original papers on the following themes, but also welcome other ideas
which touch on potential fruitful human-machine collaborations for
translation:

- Post-editing user interface design and evaluation
- Tools for crowd and community post-editing
- Automatic prediction of post-editing effort
- Error-detection and error-correction for post-editing
- Innovative uses of post-editor feedback
- Innovative uses of MT data for post-editing
- Integration of MT with translation memory and other CAT tools
- Text pre- and post-processing for post-editing
- Post-editing and mobile devices
- Post-editing evaluation methodology and metrics
- Collecting and sharing post-editing data
- Best practices for post-editing
- Training for post-editing


Demos

We also invite one-page descriptions of interesting tools related to
post-editing, including commercial products, in-house systems and open
source software. Authors should be ready to present demos of the tools
during the workshop. See Demo submission instructions below.


Important dates:

July 30: Submission deadline (no extensions)
September 8: Notifications to authors
September 22: Camera-ready versions due
October 26: Workshop


Original Paper Submission Instructions:

The format for original papers is the same as for regular AMTA 2014

*MT Marathon 2014 and Open Source Convention*
http://www.statmt.org/mtm14

Organized and sponsored by MosesCore EU project (http://www.mosescore.eu),
Machine Translation Marathon 2014 is a week-long gathering of machine
translation researchers, developers, students and users. It features:

- MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials
- Invited talks from experienced researchers and practitioners
- Technical Talks about open source tools
- Hacking Projects to advance tools or research in one week


The Machine Translation Marathon 2014, MTM2014, will take place in
Trento, Italy in September 8--13th, 2014. It is organised by the the Human
Language Technology group of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento.

The registration is now open. It's free, but strictly limited to 100
people. For
