Following the success of the previous workshops on Patent and Scientific Literature Translation, we are organizing the 11th Workshop on Patent and Scientific Literature Translation (PSLT 2025) held in conjunction with MT Summit 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland. The rapid growth of patent applications and scientific publications has increased the needs of machine translation for faster and larger access to technical information worldwide. Recent advances of machine translation technologies together with large-scale multilingual corpora and large language models has improved such translation significantly, while there still remain open problems to make the machine translation results more sophisticated. The workshop covers a wide range of topics related to the unique features of scientific literature including patents, scientific papers, and technical reports. The workshop, which consists of invited talks, presentation of submitted papers, and free discussion will be an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to get together and exchange their ideas and experiences.
TBD
We solicit original research papers as well as survey papers and user reports.
Topics of interests include but not limited to:
- Machine translation of patents and scientific literature
- Domain adaptation of machine translation systems or large language models
- Translation aids for patents and scientific literature
- Language resources for patent and scientific literature translation
- Evaluation techniques for patent and scientific literature translation
- Controlled languages and machine translation
- Multilingual retrieval and classification of patents and scientific literature
- Monday, 10 March: Paper submission deadline (Papers must be submitted by 23:59 (UTC-12 hours))
- Monday, 7 April: Notifications to authors
- Monday, 21 April: Camera-ready versions due
- Tuesday, 24 June: Workshop
The format for papers is the same as for regular MT Summit 2025 style guide, which is available from:
https://mtsummit2025.unige.ch/calls.html
Papers should not be longer than 10 pages of content (plus unlimited pages for references, appendices and sustainability statement).
The papers must follow the MT Summit 2025 style guides (PDF version, LaTeX version, MS Word version, and Overleaf template and be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair MT Summit 2025 page. Papers should be anonymized, that is, please do not include author names and affiliations within the paper and avoid obvious self-references. Papers should describe original work. They should emphasize completed work rather than intended work and should clearly indicate the state of completion of the reported results. Where appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included.
Authors submitting a similar paper to another conference or workshop must specify this at submission time; if the paper is accepted to multiple venues, the author must choose which one to present at. Papers must be submitted to the following website by the conference submission deadline:
