                            CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                   Tenjinno Machine Translation Competition
                     http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~tenjinno/

    ** Background

    Tenjinno is a competition held in conjunction with the 8th
    International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI 2006) that
    combines grammatical inference with machine translation. The task is
    to create a machine translation system using a set of training
    sentences and to use the model to translate a set of test sentences.

    The Tenjinno competition differs from other machine translation
    competitions in that the data is artificial and generated from an
    underlying formal model. The Tenjinno machine translation competition
    aims to measure and improve upon the current state-of-the-art in
    grammatical inference. Tenjinno is the successor to the earlier
    Abbadingo, Gowachin and Omphalos competitions.

    Information on how the data is generated and ideas on how to tackle
    these problems can be found on the Tenjinno website together with
    other information:
                     http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~tenjinno/

    ** Participants

    Tenjinno defines a problem that ranges over several fields. As such,
    we encourage submission from practitioners from all areas of computer
    science including (but not limited to):
    - machine learning,
    - natural language processing,
    - formal languages,
    - machine translation, and
    - bioinformatics.

    ** Results

    The results of the competition will be presented and discussed during
    the 8th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI 2006).
    ICGI 2006 will be the first conference in this series to be held in
    Asia.

    ** Important dates:

    - 31 December 2005 Competition details available
    - 1 January 2006 Competition begins
    - 1 July 2006 Competition closes
    - 2 July 2006 Competition winner announced
    - September 2006 Tenjinno session at ICGI-2006
