2nd Call for Proposals for Workshops and Tutorials for AMTA 2024
The Board of Directors of the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) is pleased to announce the second call for proposals for workshops and tutorials for AMTA 2024, our 16th biennial conference. In a departure from past events, this year’s workshops and tutorials will be held online on September 18. The main conference will follow, running from September 30 to October 2, in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The AMTA 2024 organizing committee invites submissions for tutorial and workshop proposals in machine translation (MT) and related areas, including generative AI and large language models (LLMs). The sessions may cover research, development, application and evaluation. We are aiming for a varied and engaging program for all MT community members—from researchers and developers to users and linguists.
For a list of suggested focus areas, refer to the call for papers of the main AMTA 2024 conference here.
Tutorials
Tutorials offer intensive training on specific topics in machine translation and related fields. The morning and afternoon sessions are 3 hours long. They provide attendees with deep-dives into specific technical, practical, and commercial aspects of MT and related technologies. For beginners, tutorials offer conceptual introductions to prepare for the conference’s broader content. Sessions may also feature hands-on exercises.
