*** Overview ***

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites proposals
for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the EAMT 2024 conference
taking place in Sheffield, UK, from 24 to 27 June, with tutorials held on
27 June. We seek proposals in all areas of machine translation (see the
call for papers of the main conference for the focus areas of EAMT 2024).

The aim of a tutorial is primarily to help the audience develop an
understanding of particular technical, applied, and business matters
related to research, development, and use of MT and translation technology.

Presentations of particular technological solutions or systems are welcome,
provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific
considerations.

We recommend that the tutorial covers work by the presenters as well as by
other researchers. The submission should explain that this breadth is
ensured. Tutorials should not be ?self-invited talks?.

*** Submission Details ***

Proposals should not exceed 4 pages of content (plus unlimited pages for
references), should be in PDF format, and should contain the following:

- A title and authors, affiliations, and contact information.
- A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the
machine translation community.
- Short description of the target audience and any expected prerequisite
background the audience should be aware of.
- An outline of the tutorial structure content and how it will be covered
in a three-hour slot (half-day). In exceptional cases, six-hour tutorial
slots (full day) are available. These time limits do not include coffee
breaks, e.g., a three-hour tutorial, in fact, occupies a 3.5-hour slot, and
a six-hour tutorial occupies a 7-hour slot.
- Diversity considerations, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of
how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains,
participation of both senior and junior instructors, demographic and
geographical diversity of the instructors, plans for how to diversify
audience participation, etc.
- Reading list. Work that you expect the audience to read before the
tutorial can be indicated by an asterisk. Recommended papers should provide
the breadth of authorship and include work by other authors, and work from
other disciplines is welcome if relevant.
- For each tutorial presenter, a one-paragraph statement of their research
interests and areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, as well as
experience in instructing an international audience.
An estimate of the audience size for the tutorial. If the same or a similar
tutorial has been given before, include information on where any previous
version of the tutorial was given and how many attendees the tutorial
attracted.
- A description of special requirements for technical equipment.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted as PDF files to OpenReview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Tutorials_Track.

Submissions should be formatted according to the templates specified below.
Anonymisation is not required. Submissions should be no longer than 4 pages
(excluding references).

*** Templates for writing your proposal ***

There templates available in the following formats (check our website --
https://eamt2024.sheffield.ac.uk/conference-calls/final-call-for-tutorials):

- LaTeX
- Cloneable Overleaf template
- Word
- Libre Office/Open Office
- PDF

*** Evaluation Criteria ***

Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated according to its clarity and
preparedness, novelty or timely character of the topic, and instructors?
experience.

** Tutorial Instructor Responsibilities ***

Accepted tutorial presenters will be notified by 22 April 2024. They must
then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference
registration material by the specific conference deadlines. The description
should be in two formats: (a) an ASCII version that can be included in
email announcements and published on the conference website, and (b) a PDF
version for inclusion in the electronic proceedings (detailed instructions
will be provided). Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials by 22
May 2024. The final submitted tutorial materials must minimally include
copies of the course slides and a bibliography for the material covered in
the tutorial.

For each tutorial being held at EAMT 2024, we offer free registration to
the conference for one tutor only.

*** Important Dates ***

*The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation*

*21st IWSLT 2024 ? **Second** Call for Participation*

*August 17-18, 2024 ? Bangkok, Thailand*

*http://iwslt.org <http://iwslt.org/>*

The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is the
premier annual conference for all aspects of Spoken Language Translation.
Every year, the conference organizes and sponsors open evaluation campaigns
around key challenges in simultaneous and consecutive translation, under
real-time/low latency or offline conditions and under low-resource or
multilingual constraints. System descriptions and results from
participants? systems and scientific papers related to key algorithmic
advances and best practices are presented.

IWSLT is the venue of the SIGSLTs, the Special Interest Group on Spoken
Language Translation of ACL, ISCA and ELRA. With a track record of 20
years, IWSLT benchmarks and proceedings serve as reference for all
researchers and practitioners working on speech translation and related
fields.

The 21st edition of IWSLT <https://iwslt.org/2024/> will be run as an
*ELRA/ACL* event and co-located with ACL 2024 <https://2024.aclweb.org/> on
August 17-18, 2024. It will be run as a hybrid event.

Important Dates

January 15, 2024: Release of shared task training and dev data

April 01-15, 2024: Evaluation period

April 29, 2024: Paper submission due (all papers)

June 4, 2024: Notification of acceptance

June 24, 2024: Camera-ready paper due

Evaluation

The IWSLT 2024 features shared tasks <https://iwslt.org/2024/#shared-tasks>
that address the following focus areas:

- Speech-to-speech track

- Simultaneous track

- Subtitling track

- Offline track

- Dubbing track

- Low-resource track

- Indic track

*Registration
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGhCusmyPVmBz36EB8ABUFignw7nZCoKxNJRzO4hgjqgRY5w/viewform>
for the evaluation* is now open and training and development data for each
shared task are available through the website. The results of all tasks
will be collected and discussed in an overview paper that will be presented
at the conference. In addition, participants have the opportunity to
present their work through a system paper that will be published in the ACL
Proceedings.

Conference

IWSLT also invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the
ACL Proceedings and presented either in oral or poster format. The
conference selects high-quality, original contributions on theoretical and
practical issues of spoken language translation research, technologies and
applications. For further information on this initiative, please refer to
the website <https://iwslt.org/2024/#paper-submission>


*Special Session: Recent Highlights in SLT*

IWSLT 2024 will introduce a special session entitled ?SLT Recent Highlights
<https://iwslt.org/2024/special-session>?. The session intends to provide
an overview of recent highlights from the field across venues, with a
series of short presentations focused reviews on recent developments and
new/emerging trends. Additionally, a short and lively discussion may follow
the presentations. We believe this initiative will contribute to a better
understanding of the current landscape of SLT research and foster
collaboration and exchange of ideas within the IWSLT community. For more
information on this initiative, please refer to the website
<https://iwslt.org/2024/special-session>

Contact

Please send an email to iwslt-evaluation-campaign@googlegroups.com if you
have any questions related to the shared tasks.


Thanks,
Marine, Marcello, Alex, Jan, Sebastian, Elizabeth, Atul
(IWSLT organisers)
