Hi everyone, MT Marathon is a week-long hackathon. I have attended every year for the past four years or so, plan to again this year, and would encourage anyone else who is able and interested in working on some Joshua-related project to come.
We should also look at the PBML (Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics) as a good venue for publishing our notes about the first Apache Joshua release. The abstract and paper are due on July 5 and 19. I am planning to write something up and would welcome help from those who are interested. matt > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Ondrej Bojar <bo...@ufal.mff.cuni.cz> > Subject: MT Marathon 2016 in Prague: Call for Papers, Projects and > Participation > Date: June 1, 2016 at 7:51:07 AM EDT > To: wmt-ta...@googlegroups.com > Reply-To: wmt-ta...@googlegroups.com > > (Apologies for multiple copies.) > > As you may have already gathered: > > MT Marathon 2016 > will again take place in > Prague > on September 12-17, 2016 > > > This is a call for: > - Papers - Projects - Participation > > The eleventh MT Marathon is again organized by the EU project CRACKER. > This brings in the focus on quality in machine translation (QT Marathon), > which definitely forces us take neural MT seriously this year.
