EAMT 2009
13th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
May 13-15, 2009
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, SPAIN
The 13th Annual Meeting of the European Association for Machine Translation will take place May 14-15 on the Campus Nord of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.
REMEMBER: Early registration is open until April 15.
The meetings of the EAMT are intended to provide a forum for researchers, commercial developers and users to exchange of ideas concerning all aspects of Machine Translation and translation-related tools and resources. The aim is to present recent research and current state of the art in the area, explore emerging R&D trends, provide information about evaluation techniques and tools and review the translation needs and the uses of translation technologies on the part of government and industry.
This year the main theme of the conference is:
"Translation among European languages, especially for languages with smaller speech communities and limited digital resources"
Of 23 official languages in the EU almost half have fewer than 10 million speakers. In addition, there are perhaps as many as 80 additional recognized languages or dialects spoken within its territory, the majority of which have fewer than 2 million speakers. The problems faced by government and industry in providing goods and services to people in their native language, in many cases a matter of law, is at the very least daunting. At the same time, current MT development methods require large amounts of human and/or digital resources. Thus, the focus of this EAMT conference is on how to develop translation technologies for and among languages having smaller speech communities or limited digital resources. In addition, contributions address a range of topics related to Machine Translation or translation related technologies. See the tentative programme.
