The First MT Marathon in the Americas has ended, but the Tenth MT Marathon is taking place in Prague on September 7-12th, 2015!

First MT Marathon in the Americas, May 10th-15th, 2015

We invite researchers, developers, students and users of machine translation to participate in the 2015 Machine Translation Marathon in the Americas. This week-long event will include:

• MT Lectures and labs, ranging from beginners tutorials to showcase talks by leading researchers. Everyone can learn or strengthen their knowledge.
• Technical talks about open source tools for MT
• Week-long open source MT hacking projects, led by experienced developers and researchers.

The 2015 Machine Translation Marathon in the Americas is an event sponsored by Bloomberg.

The MT Marathon will take place on 10-15 May 2015 in Champaign, Illinois, organized by the Department of Linguistics of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Grants are available for students new to the field.

Registration is open. It's free, but strictly limited to 100 people.

Important Dates

Hotel rooms are available at the venue. The number of rooms available on-site for check-in on Saturday, May 9 is somewhat limited, so if you're planning to arrive on May 9, please plan to book your hotel rooms early.

The first day of the Marathon will be Sunday, May 10. The final day will be Friday, May 15. Events will be planned for all day on Friday, May 15, but the organizers understand that non-local participants may need to leave early to catch flights.

Due to UIUC graduation the weekend of May 16-17, no hotel rooms are available at the venue for the night of Friday, May 15. Furthermore, it is highly likely that all hotel rooms in Champaign, Urbana, and nearby towns within driving distance will all be completely full beginning Friday, May 15.
