Dear all, as announced earlier today during the EAMT 2017, a team from the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University has recently launched a survey about the participation in and organisation of shared tasks in NLP. This is a follow up of a paper we published about ethical considerations on shared tasks <http://aclweb.org/anthology/W/W17/W17-1608.pdf> and the ultimate aim is to learn from each other and share this knowledge with the NLP community. The survey has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee at DCU.
As researchers and experts in the MT field, many of you will have participated and/or organised some of the yearly WMT shared tasks. MT is precisely a field in which shared tasks are very well established and popular. It doesn't matter what position you held, all opinions are equally valuable and the survey is 100% anonymous. *What we really need is your input!* This is the time to share your experience and help other researchers in NLP. Have your say! https://goo.gl/forms/7HXv52UlwMyer9Pl2 Feel free to also share the link with your colleagues from other centres and institutions, the more the merrier! You will also find us on Twitter under the user name @STaskSurvey <https://twitter.com/STaskSurvey> and the hashtag #STaskSurvey ;-) Thanks a million!
