    including references. Topics of interest include, but are not limited

        NLP techniques for MT
        Knowledge acquisition for MT systems
        MT evaluation techniques and evaluation results
        MT for cross-lingual retrieval and question answering

    Format & Style Files:
    - -------------------

    Your paper should be prepared according to the following guidelines
    (for authors using LaTeX, there is a style file tmi02.cls available,
    which comes with a pair of style files for formatting examples,
    gb4e.sty and cgloss4e.sty.
    See http://sevilla.mt.cs.cmu.edu/TMI2002/cfp.html ):

    -The font size should be no smaller than 11pt, and the paper size
     should be A4.

    -TMI uses an anonymous review process. Therefore, all
     papers should be submitted with a separate author ID page (in a
     separate file) that includes only the title of the paper, the topic
     area, and the author name(s) and address(es). The paper itself should
     begin with the title and an abstract, but should not include the names
     or addresses of the authors.

    -Papers should be submitted as .pdf files only. All papers will be
     submitted electronically; authors must first register before uploading
     papers to the program committee database (details coming soon on the
     Author Resource page). For bibliographic references, if the author's
     name(s) is/are part of the text, then only the date should be in
     brackets. E.g. "Huddleston (1988) introduced the term ...", not
     "(Huddleston 1988) introduced the term ..."

    -Make sure your figures are not wider than the text. Don't forget to
     use italics for cited words, and double quotes for glosses. If you
     cite non-Roman script please cite as follows: NON-EUROPEAN
     transliteration "gloss" (the transliteration should be in italics).
