Machine translation

Dear All,

We are organizing the WMT 2022 shared task on code-mixed machine translation (MixMT).

In this shared task, we are running two subtasks involving a code-mixed language i.e. Hinglish (code-mixing of Hindi and English). A brief description of both the subtasks is given below:

We are excited to announce the first edition of the Shared Task on Sign Language Translation (WMT-SLT) at WMT 2022, co-located with EMNLP 2022.

*OVERVIEW*

This shared task is concerned with automatic translation between signed and spoken languages. The task is novel in the sense that it requires processing visual information (such as video frames or human pose estimation) beyond the well-known paradigm of text-to-text machine translation.

We provide training data for one language pair: Swiss German Sign Language (DSGS) and German (DE).

We are delighted to announce that ICNLSP 2022, the 5th edition of the International Conference on Natural Language and Speech Processing, hosted by DataScientia (University of Trento), will be held online, on 16-17 December 2022.
Authors are invited to present their work relevant to the topics of the conference. The following list includes the topics of ICNLSP 2022 but not limited to:

Call for Papers for the 3rd Workshop on Automatic Simultaneous Translation

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 3rd workshop on Automatic Simultaneous Translation co-located with NAACL 2022, https://autosimtrans.github.io [1].

More details on the workshop, including topics of interest, important deadlines, instructions for authors and shared tasks are below:

The conference is a continuation of the well-established Translation in Transition series that serves as a meeting point for scholars conducting research in translation based on an empirical methodological paradigm.

First Call for Participation
--------------------------------------------
The 2nd Workshop on "Evaluation & Comparison of NLP Systems" (co-located with EMNLP 2021) organizes a shared task on Explainable Quality Estimation. The call for participation is described below. For more details, please visit our shared task website -- https://eval4nlp.github.io/sharedtask.html

Greetings! This is a call for participation for the shared task: "Triangular MT: Using English to improve Russian-to-Chinese machine translation".

Given a low-resource language pair (X/Y), the bulk of previous MT work has pursued one of two strategies.

- Direct: Collect parallel X/Y data from the web, and train an X-to-Y translator, OR
- Pivot: Collect parallel X/English and Y/English data (often much larger than X/Y data), train two translators (X-to-English + English-to-Y), and pipeline them to form an X-to-Y translator
