Dear all,
We invite you to participate in this year's biomedical machine translation task at WMT'24 at EMNLP. Our task aims to evaluate the translation quality of scientific documents from the biomedical domain. The test data consists of biomedical abstracts, and it will address the following language pairs:
English-French and French-English (en/fr, fr/en)
English-German and German-English (en/de, de/en)
English-Italian and Italian-English (en/it, it/en)
English-Portuguese and Portuguese-English (en/pt, pt/en)
English-Russian and Russian-English (en/ru, ru/en)
English-Spanish and Spanish-English (en/es, es/en)
*Evaluation*:
Evaluation will be carried out both automatically and manually. The automatic evaluation will use standard machine translation metrics. In addition, native speakers of each language will manually check the quality of the translation for a small sample of the submissions. If necessary, we also expect participants to support us in the manual evaluation (according to the number of submissions).
*Important dates*
Release of test data June 27th, 2024
Results submission deadline July 4th, 2024
Paper submission deadline TBA (follows EMNLP)
Paper notification TBA (follows EMNLP)
Camera-ready version due TBA (follows EMNLP)
Conference EMNLP 12-13 November 2024
