Quechua to Spanish Dialectal and Low-Resource Track at IWSLT 2024 @ ACL

[John Ortega]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

We need your help to preserve indigenous languages!

Due to the overwhelming success of previous workshops like LoResMT and
AmericasNLP we have decided to continue to push the needle for Quechua
to Spanish translations. Please participate in the 2024 edition of the
QUE-SPA speech translation shared task being held at IWSLT 2024. This
low-resource task will help increase language preservation for
low-resource languages. We invite advanced research and approaches of
all types so bring your rule-based, statistical, neural, and more!
