The Anthony C. Clarke Award for the 2022 EAMT Best Thesis
Submission deadline: March 3, 2023, 23:59 CEST
*********************************************************************
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT, http://www.eamt.org) is an organization that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology.
The EAMT invites entries for its eleventh EAMT Best Thesis Award for a PhD or equivalent thesis on a topic related to machine translation.
Previous year winners can be found at https://eamt.org/best-thesis-award/.
* Eligibility *
Researchers who
- have completed a PhD (or equivalent) thesis on a relevant topic in a European, African or Middle Eastern institution within calendar year 2022,
- have not previously won another international award for that thesis, and,
- are members of the EAMT at the time of submission,
are invited to submit their theses to the EAMT for consideration.
* Panel *
The submissions will be judged by a panel of experts who will be specifically appointed, based on the EAMT 2023 program committee, and which will be ratified by the Executive Board of the EAMT.
* Selection criteria *
Each thesis will be judged according to how challenging the problem was, to how relevant the results are for machine translation as a field, and to the strength of their impact in terms of scientific publications.
* Scope *
The scope of the thesis does not need to be confined to a technical area, and applications are also invited from students who carried out their research into commercial and management aspects of machine translation.
Possible areas of research include:
- development of machine translation or advanced computer-assisted translation: methods, software or resources
- machine translation for less-resourced languages
- the use of these systems in professional environments (freelance translators, translation agencies, localisation, etc.)
- the increasing impact of machine translation on non-professional Internet users and its impact in communications, social networking, etc.
- spoken language translation
- the integration of machine translation and translation memory systems
- the integration of machine translation software in larger IT applications
- the evaluation of machine translation systems in real tasks such as those above
- the cross-fertilisation between machine translation and other language technologies
* Prize *
The winner will be announced on the 31st of March 2023 and will receive a prize of €500, together with an inscribed certificate. The recipient of the award will be required to briefly present their research at EAMT 2023 to be held from 12th June to 15th June 2022 in Tampere, Finland. In order to facilitate this, the EAMT will waive the winner's registration costs, and will make available a travel bursary of €200 to enable the recipient of the award to attend the said conference. The prize includes complimentary membership in the EAMT for 2024.
* Submission *
Candidates will submit using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2023 (Submission type: Thesis Award), a single PDF file containing:
- a 2-page summary of your thesis in English, containing:

Dear Carol
Somehow I missed this email that you sent out, even though I was thinking about this event past months.
Is there a possibility I can attend the competition this year or next?
I completed my thesis January 2022.
Kind regards
Lifeng
