Dear all EAMT members, I'm Toshiaki Nakazawa from JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency), Japan. Here are four announcements about ASPEC and WAT.
1. User agreement of ASPEC has been updated Recently, the user agreement of ASPEC (Asian Scientific Paper Excerpt Corpus) has been updated to be more accommodating to researchers working for companies. Please feel free to try ASPEC if you are interested. 2. Automatic evaluation server is open and registration has been started The automatic evaluation server for WAT (the 1st Workshop of Asian Translation, which uses ASPEC as the dataset) has been opened. It is for free for everyone, but you need to create an account for evaluation. Just showing the list of evaluation results does not require an account.
