AMTA-2016 solicits original research papers that will advance the field of Machine Translation. We seek submissions across the entire spectrum of MT-related research activity. In addition to regular contributions, we are also seeking demo papers that describe research software to be demonstrated as part of the technology showcase. Submissions must be unpublished, and in English.

Submission Instructions:

Papers (both demo and regular) must not exceed 12 (twelve) pages plus 2 (two) pages for references, and must be formatted according to the AMTA 2016 style guide: PDF version / LaTeX version / MS Word version. Submitted papers must be in PDF. To allow for blind reviewing, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper, and avoid obvious self-references. Papers must be submitted to the START system by 11:59 pm PDT (GMT – 7 hours), Monday, June 27, 2016.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    Advances in various MT paradigms: data-driven, rule-based, and hybrids
    MT applications and embedding: translation/localization aids, speech-to-speech, speech-to-text, OCR, MT for communication (chats, blogs, social networks), multilingual applications, etc.
    Technologies for MT deployment: quality estimation and domain adaptation
    MT in special settings: low resources, massive resources, high volume, low computing resources
    Human factors in MT and user interfaces for MT
    Linguistic resources for MT: dictionaries, terminology banks, corpora
    MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results
    Empirical studies on translation data

Multiple Submissions:

Papers presented at the AMTA conference must represent new work that has not been previously published. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to inform the program chairs of any potential problem with respect to this requirement. Authors submitting a similar paper both to AMTA and another conference or workshop must inform the program chairs by email (mtresearchers@amtaweb.org), specifying to which other conference or workshop they are submitting their work. If the paper is accepted and presented at the AMTA conference, then it must be withdrawn from other conferences and workshops.
