Envisioning Machine Translation in the Information Future When the
organizing committee of AMTA-2000 began planning, it was in that
brief moment in history when we were absorbed in contemplation of
the passing of the century and the millennium. Nearly everyone was
comparing lists of the most important accomplishments and people of
the last 10, 100, or 1000 years, imagining the radical changes
likely over just the next few years, and at least mildly anxious
about the potential Y2K apocalypse. The millennial theme for the
conference, "Envisioning MT in the Information Future," arose from
this period. The year 2000 has now come, and nothing terrible has
happened (yet) to our electronic infrastructure. Our musings about
great people and events probably did not ennoble us much, and
whatever sense of jubilee we held has since dissipated. So it may
seem a bit obsolete or anachronistic to cast this AMTA conference
into visionary themes.
For his general temperance, however, and self-control, Cato really
deserves the highest admiration. For when he commanded the army, he
never took for himself, and those that belonged to him, more than
three bushels of wheat for a month, and somewhat less than a bushel
and a half a day of barley for his baggage-cattle. And when he
entered upon the government of Sardinia, where his predecessors had
been used to require tents, bedding, and clothes upon the public
account, and to charge the state heavily with the cost of
provisions and entertainments for a great train of servants and
friends, the difference he showed in his economy was something
incredible.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
