Third Run of the Automatic Minuting Shared Task - AutoMin @ SIGDIAL 2025 A great opportunity to assess LLMs' ability to summarize and retrieve information from long contexts We propose AutoMin 2025, the third instance of bi-annual shared task on meeting summarization into structured meeting minutes. We build upon our past experience from two previous AutoMins and add a new challenge to facilitate personalized access: answering questions about meeting content. As in the previous editions, the tasks are run in English and Czech while the new question-answering task will be run monolingually (English-only) and cross-lingually (Czech questions about English meetings). This challenge is highly relevant for assessing LLMs' ability to summarize and retrieve information from long contexts, equivalent to the length of an hour-long meeting. A dedicated workshop is scheduled for August 28th, 2025, as part of SIGDIAL 2025: https://2025.sigdial.org https://2025.sigdial.org/.

Tasks We propose two main tasks. Task A (minuting): The task consists of automatically creating minutes from multiparty meeting transcripts. The generated minute would be evaluated both via automatic and manual metrics. Task B (question answering): The task consists in answering questions based on meeting transcripts. For this challenge, participants will be tasked with answering these questions either monolingually (English questions on English transcripts) or cross-lingually (Czech questions on English transcripts). Answers will be evaluated using a LLM-as-a-judge metric.
