[Mt-list] New Springer Book Series on Machine Translation and related areas

[Andy Way]

Hi folks,
I am delighted to have secured an arrangement with Springer to edit a
series of books on the broad topic of Machine Translation. This book
series aims to tackle prominent issues in MT at a depth which will
allow these books to reflect the current state-of-the-art, while
simultaneously standing the test of time. Each book topic will be
introduced so it can be understood by a wide audience, yet will also
include the cutting-edge research and development being conducted
today.

One of the first books to appear in the series will be on MT
Evaluation, hopefully later this year. The main aim is that 1-2 books
appear each year until 2020. Accordingly, I would be very pleased to
entertain serious offers of books in this space for consideration in
this series. I would need the following information:

-- proposed authors/editors
-- book title
-- envisaged chapter titles (with potential authors if edited volume)
-- estimated no. pages
-- estimated readership, with justification
-- date of delivery of envisaged volume

If a sample chapter can be provided, so much the better!
Many thanks,
Andy.

*MLP 2017  **Call for Abstracts*

The First Workshop on Multi-Language Processing in a Globalising World
(MLP2017), organized by ADAPT Centre, Dublin City University (DCU),
Ireland, will be held at DCU on September 4–5, 2017.
​
Globalisation has, on the one hand, brought us significant growth in free
international trade and cross-cultural communication, as well as access to
newly-developed technology, media, education, healthcare, consumer goods,
etc. On the other hand, it may have negative impacts on local societies,
such as cultural homogenisation. To embrace cultural diversity and
multilingual phenomena, experts with research interests in different
languages are invited to participate in this workshop. This international
workshop will be organised as a forum and we invite natural language
processing researchers and linguists to come together to discuss the
current status and future directions of research in multilingualism and
minority languages in this globalising world.
​
The workshop aims to provide a research forum dedicated to state-of-the-art
methods and techniques on multi-language and cross-language processing and
exploring the use of such technologies in specific tasks. The workshop will
solicit original and ongoing research contributions related to the theme,
which includes but are not limited to:

   -

   Theoretical and applied linguistic research for multilinguality and
   minority languages
   -

   Text encoding theory and transcoding techniques
   -

   Resource construction, such as multilingual corpora and corpora for
   minority languages
   -

   Speech, lexical, syntactic, semantic analytics for multiple languages or
   minority languages
   -

   Cross-language adaptation for natural language processing
   -

   Multi-language, cross-language and minority language processing methods
   and applications in machine translation, speech recognition, information
   retrieval etc.
   -

   Evaluation metrics for multi-language, cross-language and minority
   language processing
   -

   Multi-language, cross-language and minority language processing for
   social media and user generated content
   -

   Deep learning and expressions for multi-language processing
   -

   Minority languages in emergency responses and security/disaster
   management
   -

   Multi-language or cross-language named entity recognition, entity
   relation extraction and event extraction
   -

   Multi-language or cross-language linked data or knowledge graph
   -

   Multi-language or cross-language anaphora resolution and discourse
   analysis
   -

   Multi-language or cross-language sentiment analysis
   -

   Multi-language or cross-language text classification and generation
   -

   Transliteration and machine translation

The language of the Workshop is English. Abstract submissions may include
research results as well as work in progress. Submissions must have a clear
focus on specific issues pertaining to and cross-language processing,
including minority language processing. Descriptions of commercial systems
are welcome, provided the authors are willing to discuss the details of
their work. The number of pages should be limited to 1–2 pages.

We suggest you structure your abstract using the following headings but it
is not mandatory:

   - Introduction
   - Existing Work
   - Methods Proposed
   - Results
   - Conclusion

Only the PDF version of the abstract is accepted. The submitted abstract
will be subject to a double-blind review, and must not contain authors'
