*2017: For the second time, I was active participant in LIUM team which were ranked first in Task 1: Multimodal Machine Translation of WMT 2017 Multimodal Machine Translation Shared Task. Official results are published:here and it will be presented in the SECOND CONFERENCE ON MACHINE TRANSLATION (WMT17), September 7-8, 2017 Copenhagen, Denmark

*2016: I was active participant in LIUM team which were ranked first in both tasks of WMT 2016 Multimodal Machine Translation Shared Task. Official results are published in : A Shared Task on Multimodal Machine Translation and Crosslingual Image Description in the first conference of MT, 11-12 August 2016 Berlin, Germany

*2016: Our paper entitled From Arabic User-Generated Content to Machine Translation: Integrating Automatic Error Correction won the best presentation award at CICLING 2016: 17th International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics
