WNGT will be held at EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 https://www.emnlp-ijcnlp2019.org/. The workshop will occur November 4, 2019 at the conference venue at the Asia World Expo in Hong Kong.
Neural sequence to sequence models are now a workhorse behind a wide variety of different natural language processing tasks such as machine translation, generation, summarization and simplification. This workshop aims to provide a forum for research in applications of neural models to language generation and translation tasks (including machine translation, summarization, NLG from structured data, dialog response generation, among others).
This is the third workshop in the series, preceded by the Second Workshop on Neural Machine Translation and Generation (WNMT 2018), which was held at ACL 2018 and attracted more than 120 participants with 16 accepted papers from 25 submissions. Notably, the accepted papers covered not only algorithmic advances similar to those presented at the main conference, but also a number of high-quality papers analyzing the current state of affairs in neural MT and generation, which were of great interest to the focused research community that the workshop attracted. This year, we aim to complement the main conference with which WNGT is located by trying to achieve the following goals:
We also have excellent invited talks from leading researchers in the field:
Last year we had Jacob Devlin, Andre Martins, Rico Sennrich and Yulia Tsvetkov.
This year we also accept submissions of both completed and forward-looking work which will be presented either as oral presentations or during a poster session.
