Shared tasks, by providing a common experimental framework to all participants, aim to improve communication and understanding of experimental results.
The proposed scenario is the translation of speeches of European Parliament Plenary Sessions (EPPS) from Spanish to English.
The following three shared tasks are proposed:
T1. Machine Translation (MT) core technology
Possible topics:
- Word/phrase based models
- Morpho-syntax based models
- Improved training methods
- Search algorithms
- Pre/post processing for MT
T2. Integration of ASR and MT
Possible topics:
- Translation from 1-best/N-best/word-graphs
- Translation from single/multiple ASR systems
- Restoration of punctuation information
- Processing of disfluences
T3. Post-processing of ASR and SLT system outputs
Possible topics:
- System combination
- Re-scoring methods
- Error analysis
