A poster will be presented by O. Caprotti during the Third Swedish Language Technology Conference SLTC-2010, to be held at Linköping University, October 28-29. If you are there, come see us during the poster session on Thursday, 28 Oct. 2010 at 16.30-18.00 in the van Neumann room. The poster puffing will take place before and alas, the poster Prezi will not be shown, but here it is:
In the framework of MOLTO, the Statistical Machine Translation teams of UPC will be visiting Chalmers during the first week of November 2010. The goal of the workshop is to create a common understanding on how to integrate GF and SML and explore the possibilities.
Tentative Schedule
1-2 Nov. 2010, Mon-Tue: introduction, hands-on with tool installation and first experiments
Wed-Fri: work in smaller groups; maybe some more presentations
At the same time as our first project meeting, there was a workshop in València: La Indústria de la Traducció entre Llengües Romàniques (The industry of translation among romance languages) where MOLTO was present.
During the morning several talks given by Mikel Forcada, José Mariño, Jorge Civera, Delia Prodan and myself introduced machine translation ideas and projects to an audience mostly composed by philologists, linguists and some company representatives.
The EAMT 2010 took place in France last week and MOLTO was represented with a short talk and a poster (you can see both in the publications section).
There was a plenary session to introduce some European Community supported projects related to MT: Accurat, Cosyne, EuroMatrixPlus, iTRANSLATE4, META-NET, PANACEA, PLUTO, TTC and, of course, MOLTO. We only had 5 minutes each, but it was enough for each project to give a hint on their objectives.
At the poster session, quite a lot of people got interested on the project.

We publish the following hashcodes: #MOLTO, #GF, #SMT, #MT, and #OWL. I propose also #GF-RGL for tweets about the GF Resource Grammar Library and #GF-MGL for the GF Math Grammar Library.
The Faculty Summit is a meeting organized by Google to gather Academic
