Chairs: Masao Utiyama and Rui Wang (mt-summit-2023-research-track@googlegroups.com)

We invite original, substantial, and unpublished research in all aspects of machine translation (MT). We seek submissions across the entire spectrum of MT-related research, but with a particular focus on MT Summit’s strength: the close interaction between researchers and practitioners who are looking to apply the latest MT technology to their tasks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Advances in data-driven MT (e.g. neural, statistical)
• Lexicon acquisition and integration into MT
• MT for low resource languages
• Model distillation, compression, and on-device MT
• MT in production scenarios, robustness and deployment issues.
• MT for multiple modalities (Speech, OCR, Images)
• MT for communication (chats, blogs, social networks)
• Few-shot adaptation of pre-trained MT systems
• Deep integration of MT technology within translation and localization pipelines
• Large-scale mining of translation resources
• Computer Assisted Translation (CAT)
• MT Evaluation
• Measuring Fairness, Bias, Transparency in Translation
• Detecting and preventing Catastrophic errors in Translation
• Best practices in annotation for Translation

Submission Instructions:

Papers should not be longer than 10 pages of content (for references, unlimited number of pages is allowed). The papers must follow the MT Summit 2023 style guides (PDF version, LaTeX version, MS Word version, and Overleaf template) and be submitted in PDF format. To allow for blind reviewing, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper and avoid obvious self-references.

Research track papers must represent new work that has not been previously published (pre-prints posted online on servers such as arXiv do not count as published papers, and thus are allowed to be submitted; we do not require a 1-month anonymity period for previous submissions on arXiv). Authors submitting a similar paper to another conference or workshop must specify this at submission time; if the paper is accepted to multiple venues, the author must choose which one to present at. Papers must be submitted to the following website by the conference submission deadline: https://softconf.com/mtsummit2023/research.

Publication

Final versions of papers must be submitted by the final “camera-ready” date. All Research track papers will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be made publicly available on the MT Summit website. Papers will also be hosted individually on the ACL Anthology website.
