Special Issue on Machine Translation for Conquering Language Barriers
Special issue website:
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/special_issues/MT_for_conquering_language_barriers
Journal is indexed in: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/indexing
Call for papers issued: May 2021
Submissions due: 30 September 2021
Author notification: October 2021
Final manuscripts submitted: 30 November 2021
Introduction:
Machine translation is increasingly becoming a hot research topic due to
its potential of becoming one of the most significant disruptive
technologies today. It battles various aspects of existing language
barriers in challenging ways, thus striving to enable effective
communication and transferring of meaning across different languages by
applying different approaches, technologies, and solutions. The idea behind
machine translation is to automate the process of translation within the
contemporary translation workflow in order to respond to the overwhelming
quantity of data sets that need to be translated in the best possible way,
with special emphasis on speed and quality. However, since machine
translation systems depend on large data sets and computer power, numerous
issues remain open, especially when it comes to less spoken and
under-resourced languages.
In this Special Issue, original and unpublished works with results in any
way related to machine translation and linked areas are welcome, especially
those that include experimental and methodological aspects on novel
solutions, system implementation approaches, new data sets and resources,
natural language processing techniques and tools, hybrid solutions,
technology combination and integration, computer-assisted translation and
impact on quality and productivity, various types of user studies,
incorporation of linguistic knowledge and other digital resources,
translation quality evaluation and estimation, post-editing efforts and
strategies, ethical and legal issues, but also other concerns that deal
with tackling existing language barriers and problems within the field of
machine translation. Nevertheless, submissions with a strong theoretical
contribution are also desirable.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Machine translation systems and deployment;
* Analysis of machine translation models and approaches;
* Evaluation of machine translation quality;
* Machine translation quality estimation;
* Corpora and other resources for machine translation;
* Natural language processing for machine translation;
* Language technologies for machine translation;
* Linguistic knowledge in machine translation;
* Machine translation application in various fields.
Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are
invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words)
can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
