Meeting Description: 

The second round of the APE shared task follows the first pilot round
organised in 2015. The aim is to examine automatic methods for correcting
errors produced by an unknown machine translation (MT) system. This has to be
done by exploiting knowledge acquired from human post-edits, which are
provided as training material.

This year the task focuses on the Information Technology (IT) domain, in which
English source sentences have been translated into German by an unknown MT
system and then manually post-edited by professional translators. At training
stage, the collected human post-edits have to be used to learn correction
rules for the APE systems. At test stage they will be used for system
evaluation with automatic metrics (TER and BLEU).
