TOPICS
The large tide of economic globalization provides to the MT and MIR with
great opportunities as well as severe challenges. Since the first word
was uttered, people have searched ways to communicate their ideas, thoughts,
and opinions to others. Today, businesses are expanding their borders,
becoming more global, as they seek out new markets and customer bases.
With the pace of information transfer via fast PCs and networks, this goal
becomes quite a challenge.
Asia is becoming the hot area in the world in various sciences, such as
politics, economics, and culture. The first international Optical Communication
Network Plan with translation function has been published between Japan
and China. The multilingual composite service program for 2008 Beijing
Olympic game is being developed. It is learned by most countries in Asia
that we should realize multilingual translation and remove the language
obstacle that impacts information flow among different countries in Asia.
In Asia, MT and MIR have become increasingly important in recent years
due to rapid advancements in the field of knowledge engineering, natural
language processing, Multi-lingual Multi-function Multi-media intelligent
systems, and artificial intelligence. This workshop serves as an international
forum for academic and industrial researchers to discuss the application
of new computer technologies to MT and MIR. The main objective of this
workshop is to bring researchers together to exchange idea and experience
related to the fields. It will provide an international forum for an overview
of the most recent trends in the active research fields and a common starting-point
to tackle the most acute problems of MT and MIR.
Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
Multi-lingual Multi-function Multi-media intelligent
systems
Machine Translation System
Mutli-Lingual Information
Retrieval
