We propose to center the workshop on Data Driven MT, by which we mean all approaches which develop algorithms and programs to exploit data in the development of MT, primarily the use of large bilingual corpora created by human translators, and serving as a source of training data for MT systems. The workshop will focus on the following topics:
An especially important question that we wish to address is which techniques are best for each of the subparts of a complete MT system - e.g. learning grammars, building lexicons, parsing input data, determining transfer principles, generating target text, etc.
