Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, September 22, 2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the success of MT Summit 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013 Workshops
on Patent Translation, and MT Summit 2015 Workshop on Patent and Scientific
Literature Translation, we are organizing the 7th Workshop on Patent and
Scientific Literature Translation (PSLT 2017) as a part of MT Summit 2017 in
Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan. While patent information is still one of
the major application areas of machine translation, the need for translation
of different kinds of scientific literature has also been increasing rapidly.
This edition has extended the area of interest to translation of scientific
literature including patents, scientific articles, and technical reports,
which have common characteristics as well as their own characteristics.
The workshop, which consists of invited talks, presentation of submitted
papers, and free discussion like the previous editions, will be an opportunity
for researchers and practitioners to get together and exchange their ideas and
experiences.

* Invited Speakers
We will have the following invited speakers at PSLT 2017:
- Bruno Pouliquen (World Intellectual Property Organization):
WIPO Translate::
Patent Neural machine translation in 10 languages publicly available
- Masa Kajiki (MK Translation Firm)
Neural Machine Translation and Patent Translation from LSP Perspective
- Andrew Finch (Apple Inc.)
Statistical and Neural Models for Transliteration

* Topics of Interests
We solicit original research papers as well as survey papers and user
reports. Topics of interests include but not limited to:
- Machine translation of patents and scientific literature
- Domain adaptation of MT systems
- Translation aids for patents and scientific literature
- Language resources for patent and scientific literature translation
- Evaluation techniques for patent and scientific literature translation
- Controlled languages and machine translation
- Multilingual retrieval and classification of patents and scientific
literature
