Meeting Description:

The previous conference in this series (TMI 2002) held in Keihanna, Kyoto,
emphasized the synergy between empirical and knowledge-based approaches to
Machine Translation. Another topic of interest was MT for new, so-called
''low-density'' languages. We continue to focus on these issues in the
current TMI. Up to now, the papers presented at the TMI conferences were
concerned with text-to-text translation. This year, we would like to extend
the scope of the research presented at the TMI by including work on spoken
language and sign language in Machine Translation.

Come join us for the full conference or just for a day!

The Tenth Conference on Theoretical and Methodological Issues in Machine
Translation
(TMI-04) will take place at the Wyndham Hotel
