About AMTA

Membership

AMTA members receive discounts at conferences sponsored by AMTA and by sister organizations within the IAMT (see below). The usual way to join AMTA is to attend an AMTA conference, since registration includes a membership fee. However, it is also possible to join directly. Two-year membership rates for this are:

  • individual member: US$130
  • student member: US$50

To join AMTA outside of the conference dates, send an email to:

Organization

AMTA is the North American component of the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT), which also includes the Asian-Pacific Association for Machine Translation (AAMT) and the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT). The IAMT Council comprises a balanced representation of all  regions. Members of any of the three regional associations automatically become part of the IAMT network. AMTA is governed by the by-laws codified in the documents here: doc pdf.

The AMTA Archives are accessible to Board Members by password here.

Conferences

AMTA organizes a series of biennial conferences held in North America on even-numbered years. These typically feature separate tracks for MT research and for commercial and government users of MT, as well as workshops and tutorials on special themes, and a technology showcase where companies and research labs give demonstrations of new software products and prototypes. The AMTA conferences are a unique opportunity for people involved in different aspects of MT to interact, and they typically attract a broad cross-section of AMTA’s constituency: researchers, developers, vendors, and users.


AMTA conferences are interleaved, on odd-numbered years, with the MT Summit series. MT Summit conferences are organized by each of the IAMT regional associations in turn, and rotate between North America, Europe, and Asia. They are similar to AMTA in nature, with both research and user tracks, and demonstration sessions.
