The International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) is a yearly
scientific workshop, associated with an open evaluation campaign on spoken
language translation, where both scientific papers and system descriptions are
presented. The 14th International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation will
take place in Tokyo, Japan, on December 14-15, 2017.

[Evaluation Campaign]
IWSLT 2017 will offer three official evaluation tasks: multilingual text
translation of TED talks (including zero-shot translation), text translation of
dialogues, and speech translation of lectures. Multilingual translation will
target English, German, Dutch, Italian and Romanian; translations of dialogues
will be from Japanese to English; and speech translation of lectures will be
from German to English. Additional unofficial text translations of TED talks
will be offered à-la-carte according to expressions of interest by the
participants. Training and development data will be released to the participants
through the workshop website begin of June 2017. For the multilingual task both
large and small training data constraints will be defined.

[Scientific Papers]
The IWSLT invites submissions of scientific papers to be published in the
workshop proceedings and presented in dedicated technical sessions of the
workshop, either in oral or poster form. The workshop welcomes high quality,
original contributions covering theoretical and practical issues in the fields
of automatic speech recognition and machine translation that are applied to
spoken language translation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

- MT and SLT approaches
- Integration of ASR and MT
- MT and SLT evaluation
- Language resources for MT and SLT
- Open source software for ASR, MT and SLT
- Multilingual MT and ASR
- Applications of MT and SLT
- Adaptation in MT, ASR and SLT
- Post- and Pre-processing for ASR, MT and SLT
- Efficiency in ASR, MT and SLT
