*Call for Participation: WAT2021 Multi-Modal Arabic-English Translation
(ArEnMulti30K) Task*



*Description:*



We invite you to take part in one or both of the two following tasks
organized as part of the Workshop on Asian Translation (WAT)
<http://lotus.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/WAT/>. The aim of the “*WAT 2021
Multi-Modal translation task
<https://lotus.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/WAT/WAT2021/index.html>*” is to enable
research on multilingual multi-modal NLP.



The Workshop on Asian Translation (WAT) is organizing the multi-modal
Arabic-to-English
and English-to-Arabic translation tasks using the Multi30K dataset. Each
task has two versions: constrained and unconstrained, and you are invited
to participate in all of them. In the constrained versions, external
resources such as additional datasets and pre-trained models with external
data, are not allowed to be used except for preprocessing and visualization
purposes. The Multi30K dataset is an extension of the Flicker30K dataset
that provides 31,014 images along with five descriptions for each image in
English. One of the five English descriptions was professionally translated
by human experts to German, French and Czech. For this task, we have
extended the Multi30K by providing an additional translation in Arabic. The
target of this task is to focus on the translation between English and
Arabic. However, participating teams are allowed and encouraged to benefit
from the multi-modal and multi-lingual nature of the dataset, even in the
constrained versions.
