Meeting Description:

The third workshop on Discourse in MT, a sattelite workshop of EMNLP 2017,
follows up from the ACL 2013 DiscoMT and the EMNLP 2015 DiscoMT workshops.  As
in the first two editions, the 2017 workshop will focus on language processing
techniques, whether theoretically-inspired or empirical, which address one or
more discourse-level phenomena in combination with MT or from a cross-lingual
perspective.The goal is to present methods and software that enhance the
capabilities of MT systems on discourse-level phenomena, but also studies that
assess the quantity and origins of MT difficulties with discourse, including
for research and commercial MT systems.

DiscoMT 2017 includes a shared task on pronoun translation, composed of two
sub-tasks: cross-lingual pronoun prediction, and pronoun translation.  These
are a follow up of the DiscoMT 2015 and the WMT 2016 shared tasks.


Call for Participation:

DiscoMT 2017 Shared Task on Cross-lingual Pronoun Prediction

Website: https://www.idiap.ch/workshop/DiscoMT/shared-task

At the 3rd Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (collocated with EMNLP
2017)

We are pleased to announce an exciting cross-lingual pronoun prediction task
for people interested in (discourse-aware) machine translation, anaphora
resolution and machine learning in general.

In the cross-lingual pronoun prediction task, participants are asked to
predict a target-language pronoun given a source-language pronoun in the
context of a sentence. For example, in the English-to-French sub-task, to
predict the correct translation of ''it'' or ''they'' into French (ce, elle,
elles, il, ils, ça, cela, on, OTHER). You may use any type of information that
can be extracted from the documents. We provide training and development data
and a simple baseline system using an N-gram language model.

Participants are invited to submit systems for the English-French and
English-German, German-English and Spanish-English language pairs.

More details can be found below, and on our website:
https://www.idiap.ch/workshop/DiscoMT/shared-task

Important Dates:

March 2017: Release of training data
2 May 2017: Release of test data 
9 May 2017: System submission deadline 
15 May 2017: Release of results
9 June 2017: System paper submission deadline
30 June 2017: Notification of acceptance
14 July 2017: Camera-ready papers due
