---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, Neural Network (NN) has been the driving force behind huge improvements in speech and image processing. This has led to high expectations for NN in NLP and MT. In recent top conferences, a significant proportion of papers in the MT domain have been related to NN. A large amount of recent publications have shown the effectiveness of NN in various aspects of MT.
Accordingly, we are pleased to put out a call for papers for a special issue on this topic, and welcome descriptions of innovative ways of addressing this challenging problem. Topics include but are not restricted to the following:
-- Monolingual Word/Phrase/Sentence Embedding for MT
-- Bilingual Word/Phrase/Sentence Embedding for MT
-- Neural Language Model for MT
-- Neural Translation Model for MT
-- NN for MT Evaluation
-- NN for MT Tuning
-- Neural MT / Encoder-Decoder / Sequence-to-Sequence MT
-- Attention-based Neural MT
-- Novel hybrid MT using NN
-- Applications of NN to 'hard' problems in MT
-- NN for morphologically rich language MT
-- NN for reordering in MT
-- NN for syntax-based MT
-- NN for semantic-based MT
-- NN for Context-aware MT
-- NN for language generation in MT
-- NN for MT output reranking
-- NN for MT system combination
-- NN for MT application

** Note that revised, extended versions of previously accepted papers at leading peer-reviewed conferences are likely to be eligible for inclusion under the MT journal's fast-tracking process. **
