Dear colleagues,
I’m glad to announce you the two tasks of the 2018 IWSLT Evaluation Campaign:
- Low resource MT from Basque to English
Given the scarcity of available parallel data, the challenge is how to
optimally leverage data from
other translation directions, e.g. Basque-Spanish, Spanish-English, etc.,
knowing that:
"Linguistically, Basque is unrelated to the other languages of Europe
and, as a language isolate <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_isolate>, to
any
other known living language … Basque has adopted a good deal of its
vocabulary from the Romance
languages” (from Wikipedia)
- Speech Translation from English to German
The challenge of this year is to train neural systems directly from source
speech to target text.
For this exercise, we provide a parallel corpus of TED Talks of English audio
and German text, as well
as a baseline implementation of a traditional speech recognition + machine
translation pipeline as a
Docker container.
Please, consider also:
- The very flexible schedule of the evaluation (results can be submitted
between July and August 2018)
- Submitting a scientific paper to the IWSLT Workshop (deadline is 31 August
2018)
The IWSLT Workshop will take place in beautiful Bruges (Belgium) on 29-30
October 2018 (colocated with EMNLP and WMT).
