Final Call for ParticipationWMT 2020 Shared TaskParallel Corpus Filtering and
Alignment for Low-Resource Conditions
Deadline: Saturday, August 1, 2020

http://www.statmt.org/wmt20/parallel-corpus-filtering.html

We announce and call for participation in the WMT 2020 shared task on
assessing the quality of sentence pairs in a parallel corpus.

- In the WMT18 shared task on parallel corpus filtering
<http://www.statmt.org/wmt18/parallel-corpus-filtering.html>, we posed
the challenge of a noisy web-crawled parallel corpus for German-English
and asked participants to score each sentence pair. These quality scores
were used to select subsets of the corpus, consisting of the
highest-scoring sentence pairs, train statistical and neural machine
translation systems on them, and evaluate these on a set of test sets.
- In the WMT19 shared task on parallel corpus filtering for low resource
conditions <http://www.statmt.org/wmt19/parallel-corpus-filtering.html>,
we followed the same protocol, but this time for Nepali-English and
Sinhala-English. For low-resource language pairs like these, both existing
clean parallel corpora and the to-be-scored noisy web-crawled data comes
in smaller amounts and lower quality.

This year, we pose two different language pairs, Khmer-English and
Pashto-English. In addition to the task of computing quality scores for the
purpose of filtering, we also allow for the re-alignment of sentence pairs
from document pairs.

EMNLP 2020 FiFTH CONFERENCE ON MACHINE TRANSLATION (WMT20)

November 19-20th, Online


*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

Submission: https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2020/WMT2020/

Website: http://www.statmt.org/wmt20


We invite the submission of scientific papers on topics related to MT.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* MT models (neural, statistical etc. )
* analysis of neural models for MT
* using comparable corpora for MT
* selection and preparation of training data for MT
* incorporating linguistic information into MT
* decoding
* system combination
* error analysis
* manual and automatic methods for evaluating MT
* quality estimation for MT

PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions will consist of full research papers? of 6-10 pages, plus
additional pages for references, formatted following the EMNLP 2020
guidelines. In addition, shared task participants are invited to
submit short papers (suggested length 4-6 pages) describing their
systems or their evaluation metrics. Both submission and review processes
will be handled electronically.

We encourage individuals who are submitting research papers to
evaluate their approaches using the training resources provided by
this workshop and past workshops, so that their experiments can be
repeated by others using these publicly available corpora.

Double submission (including EMNLP) is permitted this year. Please note this
when submitting. There is no arxiv blackout period.


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submissions:

Paper submission deadline: August 15th, 2020
Notification of acceptance: September 29th, 2020
Camera-ready deadline: October 10th, 2020
Online conference: November 19-20th, 2020
