** Important Dates ** (Time zone: Anywhere on Earth)

** Aim and scope **

The Gender-Inclusive Translation Technologies Workshop (GITT) is set out to be the only dedicated workshop that focuses on gender-inclusive language in translation and cross-lingual scenarios. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse areas, including industry partners, MT practitioners, and language professionals. GITT aims to encourage multidisciplinary research that develops and interrogates both solutions and challenges for addressing bias and promoting gender inclusivity in MT and translation tools, including LLMs applications for the translation task.

** Topics **

GITT invites technical as well as non-technical submissions, which consist of experimental, theoretical or methodological contributions. We explicitly welcome interdisciplinary submissions and submissions that focus on innovative, non-binary linguistic strategies and/or with sociolinguistically-informed perspectives. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Models or methods for assessing and mitigating gender bias - New resources for inclusive language and gender translation (e.g., datasets, translation memories, dictionaries) - Social, cross-lingual, and ethical implications of gender bias - Qualitative and quantitative analyses on the potential limits of current approaches to gender bias in translation and MT, error taxonomies as well as best practices and guidelines - User-centric case studies on the impact of biased language and/or mitigating approaches which can include translators, post-editors, or monolingual MT users

GITT is also open to other non-listed topics aligned with the scope of the workshop and works focusing on non-textual modalities (e.g., audiovisual translation)

** Submission **

We welcome three types of submissions:

- Research papers: of at least 4 up to 10 pages (including references) - Extended Abstracts: up to 2 pages (including references)

Accepted papers and extended abstracts consisting of novel work will be published online as proceedings in the ACL Anthology.

- Research Communications: up to 2 pages (including reference)

We include a parallel submission policy for papers accepted in other venues in 2023. Research communications will not be included in the proceedings, but will serve to promote the dissemination of research aligned with the scope of the workshop.

Submissions should adhere to the EAMT 2024 guidelines and style templates (PDF, LaTeX, Word) and be uploaded on OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=EAMT.org/2024/Workshop/GITT
