EXTERNAL EVENTS
Deep Machine Translation Workshop 2016, Lisbon
The Deep Machine Translation Workshop (DMTW), organized by the QTLeap Project, took place at the University of Lisbon, on October 21, 2016.
This was the second workshop on “Deep Machine Translation“. The first one was held in Prague in 2015.
The DMTW goal was to bring together researchers and students working on machine translation approaches and technology using “deep understanding”.
Workshop on Deep Language Processing for Quality Machine Translation (DeepLP4QMT)
On 10 September 2016, the QTLeap team organized the Workshop on Deep Language Processing for Quality Machine Translation (DeepLP4QMT) in conjunction with AIMSA conference, Varna, Bulgaria.
Invited talks were given by: Francis Bond (Nanyang Technological University) and Josef van Genabith (DFKI).
The workshop enjoyed big interest also from non-project members.
PROPOR-International Conference on the Computational Processing of Portuguese
PROPOR2016 organized and supported by the QTLeap project.
PROPOR – International Conference on the Computational Processing of Portuguese is the main scientific meeting in the area of language and speech technologies for the Portuguese language and on the basic and applied research issues related to this language.
The 12th edition of the PROPOR Conferences took place in Tomar, Portugal, 13-15 July 2016.
Workshop on Corpora and Tools for Processing Corpora
Co-organized by QTLeap project
Follow up of the ELRC Lisbon Workshop
The Workshop on Corpora and Tools for Processing Corpora took place in Tomar, Portugal, July 13, 2016, co-located with PROPOR 2016.
It was a very successful workshop highly participated with presentations on language resources suitable to support statistical machine translation from/into Portuguese and on processing tools for their preparation.
The workshop also contributed to exchange ideas and disseminate best practices that help to foster the ELRC and CEF.AT initiatives.
The Workshop Proceedings are available in English and Portuguese, in a folha.
QTLeap Project organises the META-FORUM in Lisbon
The organization of META-FORUM 2016 was supported by the University of Lisbon, under the responsibility of António Branco, and by the QTLeap project.
The META-FORUM 2016 in Lisbon was an event highly participated, full of interesting presentations, discussions, keynotes, invited speeches and posters.
António Branco, Coordinator of QTLeap Project, participated in the Opening and Closing Sessions of META-FORUM 2016 Conference and also presented the key results and achievements of QTLeap.
QTLeap Project took part on the first Poster Session of META-FORUM 2016.
