WPT 2013 - The 5th Workshop on Patent Translation

Patent information is one of the major application areas of machine translation. Five major patent offices in the world: Japan, Korea, China, Europe and U.S. intend to exchange patent information through machine translation. The workshop aims to foster research and development of the technology for patent translation by providing a forum in which researchers and practitioners can exchange their ideas, approaches, perspectives, and experiences from their work in progress. We have successfully organized a series of workshops in MT Summit X, XI, XII, and XIII. We will have deeper discussions about this theme in this workshop.
The workshop will consist of the keynote speech, 3 invited talks from Europe, Korea, and Japan, and presentation of submitted papers.
