CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

MOLTO Final Project Meeting:
Barcelona 23 May, 2013

http://www.molto-project.eu
http://goo.gl/biAiA

Start: 23 May 2013 09:30
End: 23 May 2013 18:00
Timezone: Europe/Barcelona

MOLTO (Multilingual Online Translation) is a European research project in
FP7 with six participants from six countries. The mission of MOLTO is to
develop tools for high-quality translation in multiple languages in real
time. This ambitious goal is reached by restricting the scope of translation
to well-defined domains. Thus MOLTO tools are intended for producers of
information, who have clearly defined translation needs and want to deliver
high quality. This is in contrast with most other work in machine
translation, which targets consumers and aims for coverage rather than
quality.

During the three years and three months of MOLTO, we have developed
technology that enables the productive and efficient creation of translation
systems fit for different purposes. These systems can support up to 28
parallel languages, and more languages are in progress. The core technology
of MOLTO is delivered under open-source licenses (LGPL [1]/BSD) and is thus
available for the research community and commercial users alike.

The final project meeting of MOLTO will be held in Barcelona, on 23 May
2013, hosted and organized by UPC. It offers the possibility to get to know
the members of the MOLTO Consortium, attend to talks and demos, to discuss
the work, and to plan future collaboration.

The program features presentations on the core technologies of MOLTO (tools
for translating and for building translation systems), on research aspects
(how to scale up the scope of MOLTO methods) and on use cases of these ideas
(mathematics, museum object descriptions, business applications). The
intended audience of the meeting includes computational linguists, computer
scientists, developers of multilingual websites, museum curators, public
sector officers, and members of the translation industry.

The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation of semantic
information from content and the connection of semantics to knowledge, where
“content” may be anything including structured data, video, audio, text,
hardware, software, process, etc.

The Seventh IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC 2013)
continues to foster the growth of a new research community.

The conference builds on the success of the past ICSC conferences as an
international forum for researchers and practitioners to present research
that advances the state of the art and practice of Semantic Computing, as
well as identifying emerging research topics and defining the future of the
field. The event is located in Irvine, California at Irvine Hyatt. The
technical program of ICSC 2013 includes workshops, tutorials, invited
keynotes, paper presentations, panel discussions, industrial ‘show and
tells’, demonstrations, and more. Submissions of high-quality papers
describing mature results or ongoing work are invited.

The main goal of the conference is to foster the dialog between experts in
each sub-discipline. Therefore we especially encourage submissions of work
that is interesting to multiple areas, such as multimodal approaches.

as are empirical/analytical studies of specific data mining problems in
other scientific disciplines, in business, engineering, or other application
domains. Application-oriented papers that make innovative technical
contributions to research are welcome. Visionary papers on new and emerging
topics are also welcome.

Authors are explicitly discouraged from submitting papers that do not
present clearly their contribution with respect to previous works, that
contain only incremental results, and that do not provide significant
advances over existing approaches.

Key Dates
——————-
* Paper abstracts due: August 19, 2013
* Papers due: August 26, 2013
* Paper notifications: November 25, 2013
* Conference: February 24-28, 2014
All deadlines are 11.59pm, anywhere in the world
(Alofi time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=724 ).

Paper Format
————————-
Papers must report original research not accepted or under submission to any
peer-reviewed journal or conference. Previous submissions in venues with no
formal proceedings or as posters are allowed, but must be indicated. Papers
must be formatted according to ACM guidelines and style files to fit within
10 pages, including references, diagrams, and appendices if any. A submitted
paper must be self-contained and in English.

Submissions
————————
Papers must be submitted in PDF format to the paper submission Web site
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wsdm2014 ). PDF files must have
all non-standard fonts embedded. After upload, please check the copy stored
on the site. Submissions that do not view or print properly may be rejected
without a chance to rectify the problem. Please contact wsdm2014 [at]
easychair.org http://easychair.org > for any questions on the submission or
review process.

Review Process
—————————–
The review process will be double-blind. Therefore, please anonymize your
submission. This means that all submissions must contain no information
identifying the author(s) or their organization(s): Do not put the author(s)
names or affiliation(s) at the start of the paper, anonymize citations to
and mentions of your own prior work that are directly related to your
present work, and do not include funding or other acknowledgments.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular PC members and one or
two senior PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper
novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and
presentation.

Reproducibility
——————————
The algorithms, resources and methods used within a paper should be
described as rigorously as possible. If the authors feel that this cannot be
done sufficiently due to the paper length limit, they are encouraged to
provide supplementary material for the camera-ready version, including
detailed descriptions, tests datasets and/or code elsewhere (e.g. code
repositories, institutional websites, or the authors’
website). Supplementary material will not be peer-reviewed, but we will work
with the publisher to archive it along with the peer-reviewed article.

Wherever appropriate, the authors are encouraged to use publicly available
test collections and use state-of-the-art baselines. Regardless of the
types of resources used (public test collections, proprietary data, etc.),
please consider sharing your intermediate/final experimental results and
code with the research community, or providing alternative means of
accessing your data or code if sharing is not possible. Facilitating access
to these resources is an effective way to enhance the reproducibility of
your methods and results, and hence the impact of your research.

Publication and Presentation
————————————————-
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. At least
one author should register for each paper before the camera-ready
submission. At the conference, all the papers will be allocated a slot at
the interactive poster session to encourage discussion. Additionally,
selected papers will be presented during the plenary oral sessions in either
long or short talks.
