Presentation title: 
The SCATE Project: Envisaged Results
Presentation description: 
In the SCATE project (Smart Computer-Aided-Translation Environment) a consortium of Flemish university research groups investigates several aspects of the translation work flow and possible automation for professional translators, in collaboration with partners from Flemish industry. We wish to highlight the current results of our research and explain what we envisage for the near future, such as an approach to collaborative translation, improved fuzzy matching metrics allowing to better reuse existing translations, a better integration of Translation Memory Systems with Machine Translation (MT), integration of syntax and semantic models in MT, MT error classification and quality estimation, analysis of human post-editing practices, a methodology to extract terminology from comparable corpora, the use of speech recognition as a post-editing method, speech translation and improved and personalized work flows.
