EAMT Best Thesis Award 2010
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT,
|http://www.eamt.org|) is an organization that serves the growing
community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including
users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology.
The EAMT invites entries for this first edition of the EAMT award for
the Best Thesis on a topic related to machine translation.
ELIGIBILITY
Researchers who have submitted a PhD (or equivalent) thesis on a
relevant topic in an European, Northern African or Middle Eastern
institution within calendar year 2010, who have successfully obtained
the PhD or equivalent degreee, and who have not previously won a similar
award, are invited to submit their theses to the EAMT for consideration
for this award.
PANEL
The submissions will be judged by a panel of experts from the EAMT
Committee.
SCOPE
The scope of the thesis need not be confined to a technical area, and
applications are also invited from students who carried out their
research into commercial and management aspects of machine translation.
Possible areas of research might include:
*
development of machine translation or advanced computer-assisted
translation systems: software and resources
*
machine translation for less-resourced languages
*
the use of these systems in professional environments (freelance
translators, translation agencies, localisation, etc.)
*
the increasing impact of machine translation on non-professional
Internet users and its impact in communications, social
networking, etc.
*
machine translation and post-editing
*
spoken language translation
*
the integration of machine translation and translation memory systems
*
the integration of machine translation software in larger IT
applications
*
the evaluation of machine translation systems in real tasks such
as those above
*
the cross-fertilisation between machine translation and other
language technologies
PRIZE
The winner will receive a prize of EUR500, together with a
suitably-inscribed certificate. In addition, the recipient of the award
will be expected to briefly present their research at the EAMT 2011
conference in Spring 2011. In order to facilitate this, the EAMT will
waive the winner's registration costs, and will make available a travel
bursary of EUR200 to enable the recipient of the award to attend the
said conference.
