Workshop
Theme
Patent documents are one of the major
application areas of machine translation. The workshop aims to foster research
and development of the technology for patent translation by providing a forum
in which researchers and practitioners can exchange their ideas, approaches,
perspectives, and experiences from their work in progress. We have successfully
made the same workshops in MT Summit X and XI, and will make deeper discussions
about this theme.
Double submission of papers to both the
workshop and the main conference will also be welcomed.
The workshop will consist of 1-3 invited
talk(s), presentation of submitted papers, and one panel discussion.

- Analysis and
