Call For Papers

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Call for Papers

18th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine
Translation (EAMT 2015; Antalya, Turkey)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Association for Machine Translation
(EAMT,http://www.eamt.org) invites everyone interested in machine
translation, translation-related tools and resources to participate in
this conference -- developers, researchers, users, professional
translators and translation/localisation managers: anyone who has a
stake in the vision of an information world in which language barriers
and issues become less visible to the information consumer. We
especially invite researchers to describe the state of the art and
demonstrate their cutting-edge results, and professional MT users to
share their experiences.

EAMT 2015, the 18th Annual Conference of the European Association for
Machine Translation, will be held in Antalya, Turkey from 11 to 13 May
2015.

We expect to receive manuscripts in these three categories:

-------------------------------------------------------------
(R) Research papers
-------------------------------------------------------------
Long-paper submissions (8 pages) are invited for reports of
significant research results in any aspect of machine translation and
related areas. Such reports should include a substantial evaluation
component, or have a strong theoretical and/or methodological
contribution where results and in-depth evaluations may not be
appropriate. Papers are welcome on all topics in the area of machine
translation or translation-related technologies, including:

* Speech translation: speech to text, speech to speech
* Translation aids (translation memory, terminology databases, etc.)
* Translation environments (workflow, support tools, conversion tools
for lexica, etc.)
* Practical MT systems (MT for professionals, MT for multilingual
eCommerce, MT for localization, etc.)
* MT in multilingual public service (eGovernment etc.)
* MT for the web
* MT embedded in other services
* MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results
* Dictionaries and lexica for MT
* Text and speech corpora for MT
* Standards in text and lexicon encoding for MT
* Human factors in MT and user interfaces
* Related multilingual technologies (natural language generation,
information retrieval, text categorization, text summarization,
information extraction, etc.)

Papers should describe original work. They should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state
of completion of the reported results. Where appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included.

-------------------------------------------------------------
(U) User studies
-------------------------------------------------------------
Short-paper submissions (2-4 pages) are invited for reports on users'
experiences with MT, be it in small or medium size business (SMB),
enterprise, government, or NGOs. Contributions are welcome on:

* Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into a translation
production workflow (e.g. transforming terminology glossaries into
MT resources, optimizing TM/MT thresholds, mixing online and offline
tools, using interactive MT, dealing with MT confidence scores);
* Use of MT to improve translation or localization workflows
(e.g. reducing turnaround times, improving translation consistency,
increasing the scope of globalization projects);
* Managing change when implementing and using MT (e.g. switching
between multiple MT systems, limiting degradations when updating or
upgrading an MT system);
* Implementing open-source MT in the SMB or enterprise
(e.g. strategies to get support, reports on taking pilot results
into full deployment, examples of advance customisation sought and
obtained thanks to the open-source paradigm, collaboration within
open-source MT projects);
* Evaluation of MT in a real-world setting (e.g. error detection
strategies employed, metrics used, productivity or translation
quality gains achieved);
* Post-editing strategies and tools (e.g. limitations of traditional
translation quality assurance tools, challenges associated with
post-editing guidelines);
* Legal issues associated with MT, especially MT in the cloud
(e.g. copyright, privacy);
* Use of MT in social networking or real-time communication
(e.g. enterprise support chat, multilingual content for social
media);
* Use of MT to process multilingual content for assimilation purposes
(e.g. cross-lingual information retrieval, MT for e-discovery or
spam detection, MT for highly dynamic content);
* Use of standards for MT.

Papers should highlight problems and solutions and not merely describe
MT integration process or project settings. Where solutions do not
seem to exist, suggestions for MT researchers and developers should be
clearly emphasized. For user papers produced by academics, we require
co-authorship with the actual users.

-------------------------------------------------------------
(P) Project/Product description
-------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract submissions (1 page) are invited to report new, interesting:

* Tools for machine translation, computer aided translation, and the
like (including commercial products and open-source software). The
authors should be ready to present the tools in the form of demos or
posters during the conference.
* Research projects related to machine translation. The authors should
be ready to present the projects in the form of posters during the
conference. This follows on from the successful ‘project villages’
held at the last EAMT conferences.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Programme
-------------------------------------------------------------
The programme will include oral presentations and poster
sessions. Accepted papers may be assigned to an oral or poster
session, but no differentiation will be made in the conference
proceedings.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Paper submission: March 7, 2015
* Notification to authors: March 31, 2015
* Camera-ready deadline: April 16, 2015
* Conference: May 11-13, 2015

Please visit the conference web page (http://www.eamt2015.org/) for
the most up-to-date information about the calendar, the call for
papers and formatting requirements, the programme, invited speakers,
related conference activities, the venue, travel and registration.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
-------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical
strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and potential
interest to all attendees. They should mostly contain new material
that has not been presented at any other meeting with publicly
available proceedings.


EAMT 2015 will use electronic submission through the EasyChair
conference tool. To submit a paper, go to the submission website at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2015 and follow the
instructions.

Papers that are being submitted in parallel to other conferences or
workshops and papers that contain significant overlap with previously
published work must indicate this on the title page and in the
abstract submitted through EasyChair (using capital letters). In case
of acceptance the paper will only be included in the proceedings if it
is not published in any other conference or workshop to which it was
submitted.

Papers should be anonymised (no authors, affiliations or addresses,
and no explicit self-reference), be no longer than 8 pages (A4 size)
for research papers, and no longer than 4 pages (A4 size) for user
papers, all in PDF format. Papers must conform to the format defined
by the EAMT templates available at the conference website
(http://www.eamt2015.org/files/downloads/paper-submission/eamt2015-templates.zip).
Project/product descriptions do not need to be anonymised.

For further information about this call for papers or if you encounter
any problem regarding submission please contact the track chairs at
eamt2015@dlsi.ua.es and put in the subject "[user]" or "[research]"
depending on which track your question is related to. For questions
about the organisation (venue, registration, accommodation, visa,
payments, etc.) please contact the local organisers at
secretariat@eamt2015.org.

-------------------------------------------------------------
EAMT Best Thesis Award
-------------------------------------------------------------
The EAMT Best Thesis Award 2015 for PhD theses submitted during 2014
will be awarded at the conference, together with a presentation of the
winner’s work. Information for candidates to the award is available
at: http://www.eamt.org/news/news_best_thesis2014.php. The deadline is
