1st Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Translation Memories
(NLP4TM)
collocated with RANLP 2015, Hissar, Bulgaria

Home page: http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/nlp4tm/
Submission deadline: 26th June 2015
Workshop date: 11th Sept 2015

1. Introduction

Translation Memories (TM) are amongst the most used tools by
professional translators. The underlying idea of TMs is that a
translator should benefit as much as possible from previous
translations by being able to retrieve how a similar sentence was
translated before. Despite the fact that the core idea of these
systems relies on comparing segments (typically of sentence length)
from the document to be translated with segments from previous
translations, most of the existing TM systems hardly use any language
processing for this. Instead of addressing this issue, most of the
work on translation memories focused on improving the user experience
by allowing processing of a variety of document formats, intuitive
user interfaces, etc.

The term second generation translation memories has been around for
more than ten years and it promises translation memory software that
integrates linguistic processing in order to improve the translation
process. This linguistic processing can involve matching of
subsentential chunks, edit distance operations between syntactic
trees, incorporation of semantic and discourse information in the
matching process. This workshop invites papers presenting second
generation translation memories and related initiatives.

Terminologies, glossaries and ontologies are also very useful for
translation memories, by facilitating the task of the translator and
ensuring a consistent translation. The field of Natural Language
Processing (NLP) has proposed numerous methods for terminology
extraction and ontology extraction. Researchers are encouraged to
submit papers to the workshop which show how these methods are being
successfully applied to Translation Memories. In addition, papers
discussing the integration of Machine Translation and Translation
Memories or studies about automatic building of translation memories
from corpora are also welcomed.

2. Topic covered

This workshop invites original papers which show how language
processing can help translation memories. Topics of interest include
but are not limited to:

- improving matching and retrieval of segments by using morphological,
- syntactic, semantic and discourse information
- automatic extraction of terminologies and ontologies for translation
memories
- integration of named entity recognition and terminologies in
matching and retrieval
- using natural language processing for automatic construction of
translation memories
- extracting and aligning TM segments from a parallel or comparable
corpus
- construction of translation memories using the Internet
- corpus based studies about the usefulness of TM for specific domains
- development of hybrid TM and MT translation systems
- study of NLP techniques used by TM tools available in the market

Authors can submit full papers describing original completed research,
short papers presenting on going research ideas and demos of working
systems.

Hi Hieu,

Yes, I have received private answer from Ulrich already.

Uli , would you mind if I share your answer with the forum?

Dear all,

I have spotted there were numerous commits in the server side development - could the developers share the news/goals with the forum? I think it might be interesting for more users ? especially those out of core team.

Thank you,
