IWSLT 2019 Evaluation campaign

The Evaluation of the 2019 IWSLT Workshop focuses on two official speech translation tasks and one text translation task:

  • Conversation Translation: Translation of telephone conversations including generation of clean translations
  • Speech Translation: Translation of TED Talks/University lectures and How2Videos
    • In addition to the traditional evaluation of TED talk and university lecture this yeas task will also feature the translation of How2 videos
    • Although we prepared separate test sets for both conditions, we encourage participants to submit their systems to both subtasks
  • Text Translation: Translation of English TED talks to Czech

Training, development and testing data for the speech task are freely available to the participants.
