2nd Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

===================================================================

Workshop and Tutorial Proposals

Chairs: Thepchai Supnithi and Jiajun Zhang (mt-summit-2023-workshop@googlegroups.com or mt-summit-2023-tutorial@googlegroups.com)

The organizing committee of MT Summit XIX is seeking proposals for workshops and tutorials on all topics related to MT research, development, application, and evaluation. Our goal is to have a program of workshops and tutorials that appeals to the various constituents of the MT community (researchers, developers, commercial users, and language professionals). Therefore, we welcome not only proposals on deeply technical research and development topics but also on, for instance, the collection and curation of training data, best practices in training MT systems, human/computer interaction among translators, interpreters, and other users of MT output, and the evolving role of translation automation in the commercial translation production pipeline. Topics about machine translation on Asian languages are especially welcome.

Tutorials and Workshops will be held on Monday, September 4, and Tuesday, September 5.

Tutorials

Tutorials are a forum for experts in MT and MT-related areas to deliver concentrated training on a topic of interest in half-day teaching sessions. Tutorials help conference participants enrich their understanding of specific technical, applied, and business matters surrounding research, development, and use of MT and associated technologies, or, in the case of tutorials designed for newcomers, provide background information that facilitates greater understanding of the overall conference program.

Proposals for tutorials should be submitted by April 17, 2023, to mt-summit-2023-tutorial@googlegroups.com and include:

• The title
• A 250-500 word description of the proposed content
• A short (100 words) biographical introduction to the proposed presenter(s)
• Any technical requirements you may have
• And a scanned signed copy of the Tutorial Policy and Leader Agreement Form.

Workshops

MT Summit XIX workshops are intended to provide the opportunity for MT-related communities of interest to spend focused time together advancing the state of thinking or the state of practice in their area of interest or endeavor. Workshops are generally scheduled as full-day events.

Every effort will be made to accept or reject (with reason) workshop proposals as soon as possible after they are received by the organizing committee so that the workshop organizers have adequate time to prepare the workshop.

We encourage you to submit your proposals for a workshop as early as possible. They should be submitted no later than April 17, 2023, to mt-summit-2023-workshop@googlegroups.com and include:

• The title
• A 250-500 word description of the proposed content
• Whether this is an ongoing or new workshop
• A short (100 words) biographical introduction to the proposed presenter(s)
• The expected number of participants
• And dates for important milestones (call for papers, recruitment of speakers, etc.)
• Any technical requirements you may have
• And a scanned signed copy of the Workshop Policy and Leader Agreement Form.
