This year's workshop will feature three shared tasks:

a translation task,
a quality estimation task, and
a task to test automatic evaluation metrics.
In addition to the shared tasks, the workshop will also feature scientific papers on topics related to MT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

word-based, phrase-based, syntax-based, semantics-based SMT
using comparable corpora for SMT
incorporating linguistic information into SMT
decoding
system combination
error analysis
manual and automatic method for evaluating MT
scaling MT to very large data sets
We encourage authors to evaluate their approaches to the above topics using the common data sets created for the shared tasks.
