Welcome to the SIG Machine Translation

Machine translation has become again a major research topic in Computational Linguistics. To support research activities, this special interest group

• organizes workshops under the roof of the conferences of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL),
• co-ordinates activities with other organizations that promote research and development in machine translation.

The SIG MT was founded in 2009, and membership is free.
