*** Apologies for Multiple Postings *** Call for Papers Workshop on Language Technologies and Human Translation (LTHT2017)
The aim of the workshop on "Language Technologies and Human Translation" is to bring together NLP researchers, industry users of MT technologies, practitioners in LSPs, translation researchers, and translators to discuss issues related to language technologies and its real and potential impact on human translation and translation industries. We invite original papers on the following topics, but also welcome other related ideas. * requirement for MT technologies: from the point of view of use by LSPs, individual translators and lay people, e.g., what is the determining factors for people to use or not use MT? * evaluation of MT:, from the point of view of usability of translation services in the social sphere, i.e., what is "good" MT for social use? * the relationship between human translators and MT:, e.g., how can MT systems better complement the skills of human translators, how does the use of MT change human translation activities, and how do changes in human language activities promote the better use of MT and related technologies? * range of language technologies in the human translation process:, not limited to MT and multilingual processing, e.g., how can language technologies support authoring and pre-editing to maximize the effect of human or machine translation? * human factors:, i.e., what is the required competence for human "translators" to fully take advantage of language technologies, is it essentially the same as traditional translators' competence? The workshop submissions are open to wide range of researchers and practitioners with different backgrounds and approaches, for instance, NLP researchers, MT developers, translation researchers, translators, LSP managers, etc. We emphasize to bring together researchers and practitioners with different backgrounds at this workshop. Format for the paper is the same as for regular submissions for MT Summit XVI. Long papers must be up to 12 pages for content plus unlimited pages for references. We also solicit short papers for smaller and more focused contributions, with up to 6 pages for content plus unlimited pages for references. Style files (LaTeX / MS Word) and PDF are available at MT Summit XVI website. http://aamt.info/app-def/S-102/mtsummit/2017/call-for-contributions/call-for-papers-for-research-track/ Papers must be submitted by 23:59 PDF (GMT-0700), July 3, 2017, using the Softconf START conference management system. http://www.softconf.com/mtsummit-xvi/LTHT2017/ Important dates July 3, 2017: Paper submission deadline July 31, 2017: Notification of acceptance August 14, 2017: Camera-ready PDF due September 18, 2017: Workshop If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
