TRITON 2021 (TRanslation and Interpreting Technology ONline)

5 - 7 July 2021 (Tutorials - 5 July; Conference - 6, 7 July)

TRITON: Forum for recent advances in technologies for translation and interpreting and more

Technologies for translation and interpreting have benefited from promising recent advances including the employment of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep learning technology amongst other latest solutions. The current pandemic has prevented the in-person exchange of ideas and networking of researchers and practitioners working on translation technology, interpreting technology, machine translation and NLP in general, but virtual communication opportunities have enabled continued collaboration and provided alternative communication channels. While eagerly awaiting the return of normality, we are proud to announce the event TRITON (TRanslation and Interpreting Technology ONline) offering an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from each other and interact virtually.

TRITON will be an online event which will feature two days of conference presentations and one day of tutorials. The conference will take the form of keynote/invited speakers, as well as oral and poster presentations. A number of leading scholars and industry stakeholders will be invited as keynote speakers; oral presentations and posters will be accepted following a vigorous review process. In addition, brainstorming sessions for students who are researching or planning to research on specific topics, will be offered. The programme will be complemented by TRITON tutorials on hot topics from the fields of translation technology, interpreting technology or NLP.

Submissions and publication

TRITON invites two types of submissions: regular papers (oral presentations) and poster papers (poster presentations). Both research papers discussing specific project/study and user papers sharing specific experience as a practitioner are welcome.

Regular papers should not exceed 7 pages excluding references; regular papers are expected to focus on completed research reporting results and conclusions. Poster papers should not exceed 4 pages excluding references and can report work in-progress in addition to completed study.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Programme Committee or reviewers appointed by the conference chairs. The first call for papers will provide details on the submission procedure.

The TRITON proceedings will be published in the form of e-proceedings which will be available at the time of the conference. Each paper will have a DOI assigned, the e-volume will have an ISBN and our plan is to have to have it uploaded onto the ACL anthology.

Conference topics

Topics covered include (computational or traditional approaches to) Machine Translation, CAT tools, Interpreting Technology, Audiovisual Translation, cognitive approaches (to technologies for) Translation and Interpreting, multilingual NLP, NLP for translation, NLP for interpreting, NLP in educational applications and any topics related to Translation Technology, Interpreting Technology or NLP.

Conference chairs

• Vilelmini Sosoni (Ionian University)
• Julie Christine Giguère (Andovar)
• Elizabeth Deysel (Parliament of South Africa)
• Elena Murgolo (Aglatech14)
• Ruslan Mitkov (University of Wolverhampton) are the TRITON conference chairs.
