EMNLP 2020 FIFTH CONFERENCE ON MACHINE TRANSLATION (WMT20)
Call for Participation: News Translation Task: Khmer and Pashto
Test data released: June 8, 2020
Translation submission deadline: June 15, 2020
The WMT 2020 News Translation Task includes two additional languages:
Pashto and Khmer.
They are both low resource languages using a non-Latin writing system. One
particular challenge for these languages is the lack of sufficient amounts
of traditional
training data in form of clean parallel data. None of the clean parallel
data
is in the same domain as the test set. Thus the exploitation of monolingual
and
noisy parallel data is required for good translation quality.
The deadlines for submission match those for the other languages in the
news translation task. For more information, see the web page describing
the shared task:

Note that the same data resources for Pashto and Khmer are also used for the
parallel corpus filtering shared task:
