Proceedings of Machine Translation Summit XVII Volume 2: Translator, Project and User Tracks

It’sa pleasure for me to warmly welcome you all to the 17th Machine Translation Summit. Every two years, the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT), an umbrella organization comprising the Asian Association for Machine Translation (AAMT), the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA), and the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT), jointly call everyone related in some way or another to machine translation and translation technologies to the most inclusive MT conference in the world, a real Summit. It brings together senior and junior researchers, developers, vendors and all kinds of users, coming from academia, industry, or even as freelancers, to share and become aware of any new developments in the field.This is the sixth such summit held in Europe, after having visited Munich (1989), Luxembourg (1995), Santiago de Compostela (2001), Copenhagen (2007), and Nice (2013). The organizers have assembled an excellent programme; after two days with a wide offer of tutorials and workshops, the main conference features four tracks: the research track, the users’ track, a new translators’ track, and the usual projects track, and includes three invited talks, poster sessions and oral sessions. Everyone will find something going on that interests them throughout the event.
