Findings of the WMT 2019 Shared Task on Parallel Corpus Filtering for Low-Resource Conditions

摘要

Following the WMT 2018 Shared Task on Parallel Corpus Filtering (Koehn et al., 2018), we posed the challenge of assigning sentence-level quality scores for very noisy corpora of sentence pairs crawled from the web, with the goal of sub-selecting 2% and 10% of the highest-quality data to be used to train machine translation systems. This year, the task tackled the low resource condition of Nepali-English and Sinhala-English. Eleven participants from companies, national research labs, and universities participated in this task.
