2017 DiscoMT Shared Task on Cross-lingual Pronoun Prediction
=============================================================
The cross-lingual pronoun prediction task concerns (discourse-aware) machine translation, anaphora resolution and machine learning in general.
Participants are asked to predict a target-language pronoun given a source-language pronoun in the context of a sentence. For example, in the English-French sub-task, to predict the correct translation of "it" or "they" into French (ce, elle, elles, il, ils, cela, on, OTHER). You may use any type of information that can be extracted from the documents. We provide training and development data and a simple baseline system using an N-gram language model.
Participants are invited to submit systems for:
English-French
English-German
Spanish-English
German-English
