The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation
ACL – 17th IWSLT 2020 – Second 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.

Evaluation

IWSLT 2020 will feature six challenges that address the following focus areas:
●      Simultaneous translation (Chair: J. Gu, Facebook) – low latency, 
real-time translation
●      Video speech translation (Chair: F. Huang, Alibaba) – multi-modal speech 
translation
●      Offline speech translation (Chair: M. Turchi, FBK) – overcoming the 
cascaded approach
●      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 the 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

Multilingual approaches                                      Sign language
