The Seventh Workshop on Technologies for Machine Translation of Low-Resource Languages (LoResMT 2024)
@ ACL 2024 (August 11–16, 2024)
Bangkok, Thailand
SUBMISSION
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/LoResMT
TIMELINE
Paper submission due: May 17 (Friday), 2024, at 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance: June 17 (Monday), 2024
Camera-ready papers due: July 1 (Monday), 2024, at 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth)
Workshop dates at ACL: August 15, 2024
SCOPE
Based on the success of past low-resource machine translation (MT) workshops at AMTA 2018 (https://amtaweb.org/), MT Summit 2019 (https://www.mtsummit2019.com), AACL-IJCNLP 2020 (http://aacl2020.org/), AMTA 2021, COLING 2022 and EACL 2023, we introduce the Seventh LoResMT Workshop at ACL 2024. The workshop provides a discussion panel for researchers working on MT systems/methods for low-resource and under-represented languages in general. We would like to help review/overview the state of MT for low-resource languages and define the most important directions. We also solicit papers dedicated to supplementary NLP tools that are used in any language and especially in low-resource languages. Overview papers on these NLP tools are very welcome. It will be beneficial if the evaluations of these tools in research papers include their impact on the quality of MT output.
TOPICS
We are highly interested in (1) original research papers, (2) review/opinion papers, and (3) online systems on the topics below; however, we welcome all novel ideas that cover research on low-resource languages.
- Neural machine translation (NMT) for low-resource languages
- Use of LLMs (large language models) for low-resource MT systems
- COVID-related corpora, their translations and corresponding NLP/MT systems
- Work that presents online systems for practical use by native speakers
- Word tokenizers/de-tokenizers for specific languages
- Word/morpheme segmenters for specific languages
- Alignment/Re-ordering tools for specific language pairs
- Use of morphology analyzers and/or morpheme segmenters in MT
- Multilingual/cross-lingual NLP tools for MT
- Corpora creation and curation technologies for low-resource languages
- Review of available parallel corpora for low-resource languages
- Research and review papers on MT methods for low-resource languages
- MT systems/methods (e.g. rule-based, SMT, NMT) for low-resource languages
- Pivot MT for low-resource languages
- Zero-shot MT for low-resource languages
- Fast building of MT systems for low-resource languages
- Re-usability of existing MT systems for low-resource languages
- Machine translation for language preservation
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
We are soliciting two types of submissions: (1) research, review, and position papers and (2) system demonstration papers. For research, review and position papers, the length of each paper should be at least four (4) and not exceed eight (8) pages, plus unlimited pages for references. For system demonstration papers, the limit is four (4) pages. Submissions should be formatted according to the official ACL 2024 style templates. Accepted papers will be published online in the ACL 2024 proceedings and will be presented at the conference.
Submissions must be anonymized and should be done using the provided submission system. Scientific papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must be declared as such and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted and published at LoResMT. The review will be double-blind. Authors of an accepted paper should present their paper in person at ACL 2024. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the LoResMT Open Review.
We would like to encourage authors to cite papers written in ANY language that are related to the topics, as long as both original bibliographic items and their corresponding English translations are provided.
Registration is handled by the main conference (https://2024.aclweb.org/).

SCOPE & MOTIVATION:
ACAIN 2024: AI meets Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Science
The ACAIN 2024 symposium and course is an interdisciplinary event featuring leading scientists from AI and Neuroscience, providing a special opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in the fields of AI, Neuroscience, Neuroscience-Inspired AI, Human-Level AI, and Cognitive Science.
The 4th Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion four-day Course and Symposium in Tuscany on cutting-edge advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial and productive environment.
Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium, (September 24-25), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the ACAIN Course, (September 22-23).
Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy, exchange, collaboration and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course and Symposium - ACAIN 2024, which is aimed both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2024 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
The Advanced Course is suited for scholars, academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders.
The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures.
Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and
the Master Students attending the Event.
