FOURTH WORKSHOP ON
STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION

March 30 and 31, 2009
Athens, Greece

[HOME] | [TRANSLATION TASK] | [SYSTEM COMBINATION TASK] | [EVALUATION TASK] | [BASELINE SYSTEM] | [SCHEDULE] | [AUTHORS] | [PAPERS]

This workshop builds on three previous workshops on statistical machines translation: the NAACL-2006 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation, the ACL-2007 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation, and the ACL-2008 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation. This year's workshop will feature three shared tasks: a shared translation task for 10 pairs of European languages, a shared evaluation task to test automatic evaluation metrics, and a new system combination task combining the output of all the systems entered into the shared translation task.

The workshop will also feature scientific papers on topics related to MT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• word-based, phrase-based, syntax-based SMT
• using comparable corpora for SMT
• incorporating linguistic information into SMT
• decoding
• system combination
• error analysis
• manual and automatic method for evaluating MT
• scaling MT to very large data sets

We encourage authors to evaluate their approaches to the above topics using the common data sets created for the shared tasks.
