*-- Final Call For Papers (August 26th Deadline) --*

(Please excuse if cross-posted)

PEMDT1 @ AMTA 2020
October 6th
Due to COVID-19, we are virtual now!

*Background*

Building on the success of past workshops that address post-editing, such
as the ones held at AMTA 2018 and MT Summit 2019, we present PEMDT1 (
https://www.naturallang.com/post-editing). Like its predecessors, this
workshop will bring together post-editing translation tool users
(practitioners) and researchers to compare and contrast how each use
digital technology for translation. Specifically, the workshop focuses on
novel advances in modern-day Computer-Assisted Tools (CAT) such as, but not
limited to, Automatic Post-Editing (APE), Neural Machine Translation (NMT),
and post-editing techniques and their usefulness as components in a
practitioner's workflow. The workshop's aim is to gain a modern-day outlook
on tools and the latest research in the post-editing sector. There will be
open discussion amongst attendees along with invited speakers with an
attempt to discern what is best for the post-editing field.
Topics of Interest

We are highly interested in (1) original research papers and (2) demos on
the topics below; however, we welcome all novel ideas that cover human
involvement with digital translation tools:

Inclusion of practitioner (post-editing or translator) feedback
Automatic post-editing approaches
Interactive post-editing techniques
Practitioner productivity studies
Studies on post-editing effectiveness
Evaluation mechanisms for post-editing
Novel uses of post-editing techniques
Quality comparisons of machine translation and post-editing
Machine translation integration with post-editing
Post-editing quality estimation
Error analysis of post-editing operations
Tools that use post-editing and machine translation
Machine translation inclusion in CAT tools
Metrics that relate post-editing productivity to machine translation
performance
Text-based systems that operate on any of the above
Neural and deep learning approaches of any type (machine translation,
post-editing, or CAT tools)
Interactive machine translation use and implementation

*Research Papers*

Original papers are accepted for submission similar to those of AMTA 2020.
Papers must not exceed 12 (twelve) pages with unlimited pages for
references, and must be formatted according to the AMTA style guide: PDF
version / LaTeX version / MS Word version. These papers will be rigorously
reviewed for novelty and impact, and they will be published in the AMTA
proceedings. They will be presented at the PEMDT workshop as oral
presentations.

Submitted papers must be in PDF. To allow for blind reviewing, please do
not include author names and affiliations within the paper, and avoid
obvious self-references. Papers must be submitted to the START system (
https://www.softconf.com/amta2020/pemdt1) by 11:59 pm (UTC-12), Wednesday,
26 August 2020.

Papers must represent new work that has not been previously published
(pre-prints posted online on servers such as arXiv do not count as
published papers, and thus are allowed to be submitted). It is the
responsibility of the author(s) to inform the program organizers of any
potential problem with respect to this requirement. Authors submitting a
similar paper both to PEMDT and another conference or workshop must inform
the organizers by email (see below for organizer information), specifying
to which other conference or workshop they are submitting their work. If a
paper is accepted at both PEMDT and another workshop/conference, then to
appear at PEMDT it can either be presented at PEMDT as a full paper and
withdrawn from the other conference, or it can be withdrawn from the
proceedings, but still presented at PEMDT as a non-archival extended
abstract. Full papers presented at the conference and included in the
proceedings will also be hosted on the ACL Anthology.

*Demos*

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

Demo submissions consist of a 1-page product description. They should not
be anonymized. Please email your demo submissions directly to John Ortega
by 11:59 pm (UTC-12), Wednesday, 26 August 2020.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS
=============================================================

56th LINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM

November 26 to 28, 2020

International conference comprising all fields of linguistics

For the first time taking place as a free online event

Special theme: Translation, Multilinguality and Cognition

Submission of abstracts: September 30, 2020

Submission of full papers: February 28, 2021

Website: www.lingcoll.de (English and German)

Keynote speaker: Philipp Koehn, Johns Hopkins University, USA

=============================================================

Since its inception in 1966, the Linguistics Colloquium has been held annually without interruption in a total of 18 European countries. Its long term continuity is ensured by a large international committee consisting of its previous organizers. The Colloquium is devoted to research in all areas of linguistics. It is open to different theoretical approaches and aims to create friendly and inspiring conditions for the fruitful exchange of ideas and results. It is also appreciated for its welcoming atmosphere and cooperative discussion culture open to scientists of all ages and nationalities.

Traditionally, authors submit an abstract which, upon acceptance, is presented and discussed at the conference. Afterwards, a full paper has to be submitted, taking into account the outcome of the scientific discussion. As usually, also this year we plan to publish the proceedings as a hardcover book in the series "Linguistik International" of the Peter Lang publishing house.
Like many other conferences, this year, for the first time in its history, the Linguistics Colloquium will be organized as an online event. As, despite regular attendance from overseas, the Colloquium has been a mostly European event so far, we hope that colleagues from other continents will see this as an opportunity to get to know the friendly and co-operative spirit of the colloquium. To further encourage this and because an online event requires less funding, as a novelty this year we decided to completely waive registration fees.


TOPIC AREAS

The special theme of this year's conference is "Translation, Multilinguality and Cognition". But contributions from all areas of linguistics are welcome, including but not limited to:

* Theory of linguistics
* Historical linguistics
* Diachronic linguistics

* Computational linguistics, natural language processing
* Neural languague processing and machine learning
* Comparative & contrastive linguistics, typology
* Applied linguistics, language learning
* Neuro- and psycholinguistics
* Sociolinguistics
* Lexicology, lexicography
* Phonology, phonetics
* Morphology
* Syntax
* Semantics

* Text, discourse
* Semiotics

Sept. 30, 2020: Submission of abstracts
Oct. 15, 2020: Notification of acceptance
Oct. 30, 2020: Registration for presenters (free of charge)
Nov. 14, 2020: Zoom trial session (test session to identify technical problems)

SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION

PROCEEDINGS

As in previous years, we plan to publish post-conference proceedings as a hardcover book in the series Linguistik International (https://www.peterlang.com/view/serial/LIN) of the Peter Lang publisher (https://www.peterlang.com/).


CONFERENCE LANGUAGES

Conference languages are English and German. Although the Linguistics Colloquium supports linguistic diversity, for organizational reasons we are not able to provide for more languages. To avoid problems for delegates not speaking both languages, attention will be placed on parallelizing programme sessions in such a way that, as far as possible, there is always a choice of language.
