2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Translation Memories
(NLP4TM 2016)
http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/nlp4tm2016/ [1]

to be held at LREC 2016 (Portoro?, Slovenia), May 28, 2016

Submission deadline: FEBRUARY 15, 2016 (EXTENDED DEADLINE)

1. CALL FOR PAPERS

Translation Memories (TM) are amongst the most used tools by
professional translators, if not the most used. 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. Moreover, the usage of TMs aims at guaranteeing
that new translations follow the client's specified style and
terminology. 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 tasks such as 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. TOPICS OF INTEREST

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
- Automatic methods for TM cleaning and maintenance

3. SHARED TASK

The NLP4TM 2016 workshop proposes a shared task on cleaning translation
memories. Participants in this task will be required to take pairs of
source and target segments from translation memories and decide whether
they are right translations. For the first task three language pairs
have been prepared: EN-ES, EN-IT and EN-DE.

For more information about the shared task see:
http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/nlp4tm2016/shared-task/ [2]

4. SUBMISSION INFORMATION

We invite contributions of either long papers (8 pages + 2 references)
which present unpublished original research or short paper/demos of
systems which present work in progress or working systems (4 pages + 2
references). The submissions do not need to be anonymised.

All the papers will have to be submitted in PDF format via the START
system. More information about submission is available at
http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/nlp4tm2016/submission-information/ [3]

5. IDENTIFY, DESCRIBE AND SHARE YOUR LRS

As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as
to allow the community to understand the whole context and also
replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2016
endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the
International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org
[4]),
a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language
Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be
offered at submission time.
