CFP: Shared Task on Chinese to Russian Machine Translation

[Lidia Pivovarova]

Dear colleagues,

We invite everybody interested in Machine Translation to take part in the first shared task on Chinese to Russian translation.

The task is to train a general-purpose MT model which can produce sound translations for texts of diverse domains (fiction and news) without domain-specific fine-tuning.

The task organizer will release an official training set, though it is also allowed to use other datasets. The test data will be split in public and private parts. The evaluation results on the public part will be available to the participants during the competition. The evaluation on the private test set will be available only after the competition end.

The submissions will be accepted in the form of docker containers. Each participant can make 5 submissions per day.

The system description papers will be published in the AINL Proceedings, Springer CCIS series.

Important dates 

April 14th: Data released

May 28th: System submission deadline

June 4th: Paper submission deadline 

June 11th: Result announcement

October 8th: Final seminar, as a part of the AINL conference, Helsinki, Finland
