We cordially invite you to take part in the first Deep Machine
Translation Workshop, which will take place in Prague, Czech Republic,
on 3rd-4th September 2015.

https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/events/deep-machine-translation-workshop

This is the first workshop on "Deep Machine Translation". Its aim is to
bring together researchers and students working on machine translation
approaches and technology using "deep understanding" (not necessarily
using Deep Neural Networks, as the name might suggest, but certainly not
excluding them either). Adding "more linguistics" has long been
considered as a possible way to boost quality of current, mainly
(PB)SMT-based systems. However, there are many ways to do so, and it was
felt a forum is needed where experience can be shared among people
working on such systems.

Moreover, we welcome submissions on any aspects of deep language
analysis, generation and natural language understanding, even if the
connection to machine translation might be indirect.

Finally we welcome submissions on query translation and other aspects of
multilingual Question Answering (such as an NLP interface to an "IT
helpdesk") and/or Cross-lingual Information Retrieval.

We would like to attract submissions also from running or past EU
projects on MT (QT21, HiML, QTLeap, TraMOOC, MMT, Khresmoi, KConnect,
...) to share their experience about pursuing higher quality in MT -
even if they do not use linguistic aspects and features directly.

Papers on original and unpublished research are welcome on any of the
topics listed above in general, and specifically on any of the following:

- General approaches to the use of linguistic knowledge for Machine
Translation
- Semantics for Machine Translation
- Combination of statistical and "manual" approaches to Machine
Translation, hybrid systems
- Innovative use of manually built lexical resources in Machine
Translation (monolingual, bilingual)
- Deep linguistic representation of meaning / semantics, including
semantic graphs, logical representation, temporal and spatial
representation and grounding
- Deep linguistic analysis and generation
- Joint linguistic and distributional modeling (analysis, generation,
transfer)
- Analysis, generation and transfer using graph-based meaning representation
- Incorporating co-reference, named entity recognition, words sense
disambiguation, or any other linguistically motivated features into the
MT chain
- Multilingual question-answering and CLIR approaches, including
specific methods for query translation and query matching in a
multilingual setting
- Evaluation methods for standard text translation, query translation,
and CLIR

Schedule:
- CFP released: June 26, 2015
- Submission deadline: July 20, 2015
- Announcement of acceptance: August 12, 2015
- Camera Ready due: August 27, 2015
- Workshop dates: September 3-4, 2015

Venue:
Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Mathematics and
Physics, Charles University in Prague
Malostranske nam. 25
11800 Prague 1
Czech Republic

The maximum submission length is 8 pages (A4), plus two extra pages for
references, following a one-column ACL-like format, as specified on the
workshop webpage.

Papers shall be submitted in English. As the reviewing will be
double-blind, papers must be anonymized with regard to the authors
and/or their institution (no author-identifying information on the title
page nor anywhere in the paper), including referencing style as usual.
Authors should also ensure that identifying meta-information is removed
from files submitted for review. Papers must conform to official DMTW
2015 style guidelines, which are available on the workshop webpage.
Submission and reviewing will be managed online by the EasyChair system.
The only accepted format for submitted papers is in Adobe's PDF.

Papers that are being submitted in parallel to other conferences or
workshops must indicate this on the title page. Papers that contain
significant overlap with previously published work must also signal that.

Papers will be published online by the time of the Workshop, assigned an
ISBN as regular proceedings published by the UFAL / Charles University
publishing house, and listed in the ACL Anthology.

Mode of presentation will be decided by the Program Committee based on
the submitted papers - either as an oral presentation or as a poster,
based on suitability for the given presentation mode, not quality; all
papers will be given the same space in the proceedings, and there will
be no other distinction in the proceedings between research papers
presented orally vs. as posters, either. Papers will be reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee.

Program Committee:
- Jan Hajic (chair)
- Ant?nio Branco (co-chair)
- Eneko Agirre
- Martin Popel
- Gertjan van Noord
- Aljoscha Burchardt
- Kiril Simov
- Petya Osenova
- Rosa Del Gaudio
- Eva Hajicova
- Khalil Sima'an
- Dekai Wu
- Deiy Xiong
- (more members TBC)

Local arrangements:
- Rudolf Rosa
- Jan Hajic
- Katerina Bryanova
- Marie Krizkova

The workshop is organized with support of QTLeap, an EU FP7 project.

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for the suggestion. In addition to compressing the phrase table in
EMS, is it possible to do the same to the reordering table, i.e., using
processLexicalTableMin?

Regards,
Guchun

Hi,

this setting will also compress the reordering table.
