Conference topics

(A) Research track topics

  • Machine Translation (any MT-related research activity including Neural Machine Translation, from development to human factors, MT in literary texts, MT in AVT, MT in localisation, MT and creative texts, MT and interpreting)
  • CAT tools (Translation Memory (TM) systems, integration of MT in TM systems)
  • Quality assessment and quality control
  • MT evaluation techniques, metrics, and evaluation results
  • Speech Technology
  • Terminology management
  • Crowdsourcing
  • Translation Workflow and Management
  • Training (to include university programmes on translation and interpreting and training in this fast-changing industry)
  • New and emerging language and mobile technologies
  • Tools and resources that can support the work of translators, localisers, subtitlers and interpreters, Linguistic resources for MT e.g. dictionaries, termbases, corpora, etc.
  • Human and cognitive factors in MT and user interfaces
  • Ethical issues in translation and technology
  • NLP support for translation
  • MT integration with NLP tasks

(B) User track topics

  • Integrating MT and computer-assisted translation into the translation workflow
  • Translation Memory systems in practice
  • Integration of Translation Memory with Machine Translation
  • Terminology tools
  • QA and MT evaluation in business settings
  • Post-editing strategies and tools
  • Legal and ethical issues associated with translation technology (e.g. copyright, privacy)
  • Using MT in social media or business communication
  • Impact of MT on translators’ work: ergonomics, invoicing issues, new skill sets required
