AMTA 2018

AMTA 2018 is the 13th biennial conference organized by the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas. The AMTA conferences are unique in bringing together MT researchers, developers, and users of MT technology from government and industry. This year we will be collocating with GALA (Globalization and Localization Association) conference, sharing workshops and tutorials. AMTA 2018 attendees who wish to take advantage of this great opportunity at a discounted registration rate can use the discount code “GALA2018-AMTA” when they register on the GALA site. Please note that the discount is valid for non-GALA members only.

Why attend? AMTA 2108 will interest people from both academia and industry. For scientists it provides a unique opportunity to share research results with colleagues, and understand user demands. Business and government participants will benefit from updates on leading-edge R&D in Machine Translation and have a chance to present and discuss their use cases.

The conference will be featuring three tracks – Research, Commercial and Government, each dedicated to a respective area in machine translation research, commercial application and government use. There will also be invited talks and panels.

Topics covered will include the latest advancements in machine translation, such as deep learning and neural MT, lower resourced languages, user-interfaces for MT; MT evaluation approaches; MT in commercial settings, integration MT into localization lifecycles, MT in chat, support and other “live” applications, MT and “noisy” content types; MT as a translator and analyst tool and many more.
