Dear all,

We cordially invite you to take part in the simultaneous speech translation task https://iwslt.org/2023/simultaneous at IWSLT 2023 https://iwslt.org/2023/, the 20th edition of the conference!

As with previous years, the task will include a speech-to-text track in three languages: English to German, English to Japanese, and English to Chinese. Additionally, we are introducing a new *speech-to-speech track*. Different from previous years, we will adopt a single latency constraint for simplified submission.

Here are important dates for the evaluation campaign:

Jan 14, 2023: Release of shared task training and dev data Apr 1-15, 2023: Evaluation period Apr 24, 2023: Scientific paper submission deadline May 22, 2023: Notification of acceptance June 6, 2023: Camera ready paper due July 12, 2023: Pre-recorded video due
