EMNLP 2020FIFTH CONFERENCE ON MACHINE TRANSLATION (WMT20), November 19-20, 2020, Online
This conference builds on a series of annual workshops and conferences on statistical machine translation, going back to 2006:
- the NAACL-2006 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the ACL-2007 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the ACL-2008 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the EACL-2009 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the ACL-2010 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation
- the EMNLP-2011 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the NAACL-2012 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the ACL-2013 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the ACL-2014 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the EMNLP-2015 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation,
- the First Conference on Machine Translation (at ACL-2016),
- the Second Conference on Machine Translation (at EMNLP-2017),
- the Third Conference on Machine Translation (at EMNLP-2018).
- the Fourth Conference on Machine Translation (at ACL-2019).

TASKS This year's conference will feature the following shared tasks:
- a news translation task
- a biomedical translation task ,
- a similar language translation task,
- an automatic post-editing task,
- a metrics task (assess MT quality given reference translation),
- a quality estimation task (assess MT quality without access to any reference),
- a parallel corpus filtering and alignment task,
- a lifelong learning in MT task. NEW
- a chat translation task. NEW
TOPICS
In addition to the shared tasks, the conference will also feature 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 data for MT
- semi-supervised and unsupervised learning for MT, transfer learning
- multilingual MT
- incorporating linguistic information into MT
- MT inference
- manual and automatic methods for evaluating MT
- quality estimation for MT
We encourage authors to evaluate their approaches to the above topics using the common data sets created for the shared tasks.
REGISTRATION AND VISA INFORMATION These will both be handled by EMNLP 2020.
NEWS TRANSLATION TASK This shared task will examine translation between the following language pairs:
- English to/from Chinese
- English to/from Czech (both directions again)
- English to/from German
- English to/from Inuktitut
- English to/from Japanese
- English to/from Polish
- English to/from Russian
- English to/from Tamil
Additional language pairs are still to be confirmed.
