Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Neural Generation and Translation

Welcome to the Third Workshop on Neural Generation and Translation. This workshop aims to cultivate research on the leading edge in neural machine translation and other aspects of machine translation, generation, and multilinguality that utilize neural models. In this year’s workshop we are extremely pleased to be able to host four invited talks from leading lights in the field, namely: Michael Auli, Mohit Bansal, Mirella Lapata and Jason Weston. In addition this year’s workshop will feature a session devoted to a new shared task on efficient machine translation. We received a total of 68 submissions, from which we accepted 36. There were three crosssubmissions, seven long abstracts and 26 full papers. There were also seven system submission papers. All research papers were reviewed twice through a double blind review process, and avoiding conflicts of interest. The workshop had an acceptance rate of 53%. Due to the large number of invited talks, and to encourage discussion, only the two papers selected for best paper awards will be presented orally, and the remainder will be presented in a single poster session. We would like to thank all authors for their submissions, and the program committee members for their valuable efforts in reviewing the papers for the workshop. We would also like to thank Google and Apple for their generous sponsorship. iii
