GITT 2024
2nd International Workshop
on Gender-Inclusive Translation Technologies
27 June 2024, Sheffield, UK
SCOPE
The "Gender-Inclusive Translation Technologies Workshop'' (GITT) is the only dedicated workshop that focuses on gender-inclusive language in translation and cross-lingual scenarios. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse areas, including industry partners, MT practitioners and language professionals. GITT aims to encourage multidisciplinary research that develops and interrogates both solutions and challenges for addressing bias and promoting gender inclusivity in MT and translation tools, including LLM applications for the translation task.
TOPICS
GITT invites technical as well as non-technical submissions, which consist of experimental, theoretical or methodological contributions. We explicitly welcome interdisciplinary submissions, and submissions that focus on innovative, non-binary linguistic strategies and/or with sociolinguistically-informed perspectives. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Models or methods for assessing and mitigating gender bias
New resources for inclusive language and gender translation (e.g., datasets, translation memories, dictionaries)
Social, cross-lingual, and ethical implications of gender bias
Qualitative and quantitative analyses on the potential limits of current approaches to gender bias in MT, error taxonomies as well as best practices and guidelines
User-centric case studies on the impact of biased language and/or mitigating approaches, which can include translators, post-editors or monolingual MT users.
GITT is also open to other non-listed topics aligned with the scope of the workshop and works focusing non-textual modalities (e.g., audiovisual translation).
PANEL DISCUSSION
At the end of the workshop, there will be a panel discussion. Details coming soon.
