It features: - MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials - Invited talks from experienced researchers and practitioners - Technical Talks about open source tools - Hacking Projects to advance tools or research in one week The Machine Translation Marathon 2014, MTM2014, will take place in Trento, Italy in September 8--13th, 2014. It is organised by the the Human Language Technology group of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento. The registration is now open. It's free, but strictly limited to 100 people.
