*SCOPE*
Based on the success of past low-resource machine translation (MT)
workshops at AMTA 2018, MT Summit 2019, AACL-IJCNLP 2020, AMTA 2021, COLING
2022, EACL 2023, ACL 2024, NAACL 2025, we introduce LoResMT 2026 workshop
at EACL 2025. The workshop provides a discussion panel for researchers
working on MT systems/methods for low-resource and under-represented
languages in general. We would like to help review/overview the state of MT
for low-resource languages and define the most important directions.
Fundamental work on low-resource languages in MT and NLP is still crucial
and unavoidable. We also solicit papers dedicated to supplementary natural
language processing (NLP) tools that are used in any language and
especially in low-resource languages. Overview papers of these NLP tools
are very welcome. It will be beneficial if the evaluations of these tools
in research papers include their impact on the quality of MT output.
*TOPICS*
We are highly interested in (1) original research papers, (2)
review/opinion papers, and (3) online systems on the topics below; however,
we welcome all novel ideas that cover research on low-resource languages.
- Neural machine translation for low-resource languages
- Work that presents online systems for practical use by native speakers
- Word tokenizers/de-tokenizers for specific languages
- Word/morpheme segmenters for specific languages
- Alignment/Re-ordering tools for specific language pairs
- Use of morphology analyzers and/or morpheme segmenters in MT
- Multilingual/cross-lingual NLP tools for MT
- Corpora creation and curation technologies for low-resource languages
- COVID-related corpora, their translations and corresponding NLP/MT systems
- Review of available parallel corpora for low-resource languages
- Research and review papers of MT methods for low-resource languages
- MT systems/methods (e.g. rule-based, SMT, NMT) for low-resource languages
- Pivot MT for low-resource languages
- Zero-shot MT for low-resource languages
- Fast building of MT systems for low-resource languages
- Re-usability of existing MT systems for low-resource languages
- Machine translation for language preservation
*SUBMISSION INFORMATION*
We are soliciting two types of submissions: (1) research, review, and
position papers and (2) system demonstration papers. For research, review
and position papers, the length of each paper should be at least four (4)
and not exceed eight (8) pages, plus unlimited pages for references. For
system demonstration papers, the limit is four (4) pages. Submissions
should be formatted according to the official ACL style templates
(Overleaf). Please refer to the EACL submission guidelines for further
information <https://2026.eacl.org/calls/papers/>. Accepted papers will be
published online in the EACL 2026 proceedings and will be presented at the
conference.
Submissions must be anonymized and should be done using the provided
submission system. Scientific papers that have been or will be submitted to
other venues must be declared as such and must be withdrawn from the other
venues if accepted and published at LoResMT. The review will be
double-blind. Authors of an accepted paper should present their paper in
person at EACL 2026. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the LoResMT Open
Review.
We would like to encourage authors to cite papers written in ANY language
that are related to the topics, as long as both original bibliographic
items and their corresponding English translations are provided.
Registration is handled by the main conference (
https://2026.eacl.org/registration).
*Shared Tasks: *
We are going to have a machine translation competition for several low
resource Turkic languages, namely, Chuvash, Bashkir, Tatar and Kazakh. The
pairs you can evaluate your models are: Chuvash-English, Chuvash-Russian,
Bashkir-English, Bashkir-Russian, Tatar-English, Kazakh-Russian.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with training data for these language
pairs, but nevertheless you can use any data you find useful or collect by
yourself. We expect you to share your findings as a report. Best reports
will be included in the LoResMT proceedings. for futher information please
visit to LoResMT website.
