CWMT
2017 MT Evaluation
I.
General Introduction
The 13th China Workshop on Machine Translation (CWMT 2017)
will be held at Dalian, China on September 27-29, 2017. CWMT 2017 will continue
the ongoing series of machine translation (MT) evaluation campaigns. Compared
with the previous evaluation (CWMT 2015), there are several changes in the
evaluation plan:
1. The Chinese-English and English-Chinese news translation
tasks are co-organized by CWMT and WMT2017; participants for the zh-en and en-zh tasks of WMT 2017
are welcome to submit their results to CWMT, and to participate the CWMT event,
as well.
2. A new Japanese-Chinese patent domain translation task is
added, which is co-organized by CWMT and Beijing Lingosail
Technology Co. Ltd.; we also welcome other contributors from industry to
participate in the organization of the evaluation in the future.
3.The training period starts immediately after the release of
this guideline. Participants could get the corresponding data and tools and
start the training process right after their registration. We would like to
encourage potential participants to finish the registration as soon as
possible.
4.The "Double Blind Evaluation" task is not held
this year; the organizer will not provide the Baseline System, corresponding
key steps or intermediate result files for the evaluation tasks.
We sincerely hope that this campaign will enhance the
cooperation and connections of machine translation research and technology
among domestic and overseas research sites, and promote the cooperation between
academia and industry.
The sponsor of CWMT 2017 machine translation evaluation is:
Chinese Information Processing Society of China
The organizers of this evaluation are:
