The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation ACL – 17th IWSLT 2020 – First Call for Participation
July 9-10, 2020 – Seattle, WA, USA http://iwslt.org <http://iwslt.org/> The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is an annual scientific conference for the study, development and evaluation of spoken language translation technology: speech-to-text, speech-to-speech translation, simultaneous and consecutive translation, speech dubbing, cross-lingual communication including all multimodal, emotional, para-linguistic, and stylistic aspects and their applications in the field. The conference organizes evaluations and workshop sessions around challenge areas, and presents scientific work and system descriptions. In 2020, IWSLT will be co-located with ACL, in Seattle, WA, USA. IMPORTANT DATES Evaluation Campaign: Scientific program: January 2020: release of train and dev data January 15, 2020: proposal of workshop sessions March 2020: evaluation period January 24 2020: workshop session notification April 6, 2020: system description deadline April 6, 2020: paper submission deadline May 4 - 2020: review feedback May 4, 2020: paper notification May 18 - 2020: camera-ready version due May 18, 2020: camera-ready version due Evaluation IWSLT 2020 will feature five challenges that address the following focus areas: ● Offline speech translation (Chair: M. Turchi, FBK) – overcoming the cascaded approach ● Simultaneous translation (Chair: J. Gu, Facebook) – low latency, real-time translation ● Conversational speech translation (Chair: E. Salesky, JHU) – highly disfluent speech ● Open domain translation (Chair: A. Nagesh, Didi Labs) – new domains and languages ● Non-native speech translation (Chair: O. Bojar, Charles U.) – non-native disfluent speech Training and development data for each challenge will be released. Organizers will provide baseline component systems to participants that do not have access to an individual component. Human and automatic scoring will be performed on each challenge, published and discussed. An opportunity for secondary system submissions will be given in the week following primary submissions. Conference IWSLT invites submissions of workshop sessions for focused presentations and discussions, as well as scientific papers to be published in the proceedings and presented either in oral or poster format. The conference selects high quality, original contributions on theoretical and practical issues of automatic speech recognition (ASR), machine translation (MT) speech synthesis (TTS) pertaining to spoken language translation (SLT). More specific topics include: Approaches and performance <> Under-resourced languages End-to-end models Multimodal Interfaces Evaluation, metrics, benchmarks, usability Architectures Paralinguistic aspects in interpretation Adaptation Language resources Post- and pre-processing Open source software Efficiency, speed, latency Sign language translation -- -- Le informazioni contenute nella presente comunicazione sono di natura privata e come tali sono da considerarsi riservate ed indirizzate esclusivamente ai destinatari indicati e per le finalità strettamente legate al relativo contenuto.
