<p style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial" lang="EN-SG">The Sixth Workshop on
Hybrid Approaches to Translation (HyTra-6), in conjunction with <b>COLING 2016</b>,
intends to invite work contributions on integrating any type of data-driven and
linguistic-based machine translation approaches. Nowadays, there are more
paradigms competing in machine translation including statistical (phrase-based,
hierarchical and syntax-based), neural-based and rule-based. Each of them has
their own advantages and disadvantages which make it worth the research on
hybridization, integration and/or combination of approaches. Given that
academic and industry perspectives may differ on the opinion of which are the
most suitable paradigms, HyTra gives a strong relevance to the participation of
both in the workshop. The fact that machine translation is a highly
interdisciplinary field (including engineers, computer scientists,
mathematicians, translators, linguists…), specially in the research of
hybridization, enriches the workshop in its discussions, proceedings, invited
talks and, even, in one contributed volume published by Springer.</span><span lang="EN-SG"></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial" lang="EN-SG">In this edition, HyTRA
will specially focus on motivating the cooperation and interaction between the
different human components, as well as to foster innovation and creativity in
the Hybrid Machine Translation research community. That is why we encourage the
participation of the different integrating fields (engineers, computer
scientists, mathematicians, translators, linguists either from academy or
industry) to contribute to our special call of shared task proposals. </span></p>

complementarity and mutual attractiveness of data-driven and rule-based MT, the
appearance of new data-driven approaches <span> </span>(such as the neural-based one), the question
