Dear all,

The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT)
<https://iwslt.org/> is the premier annual conference for all aspects of
Spoken Language Translation.  Every year, the conference organizes and
sponsors open evaluation campaigns around key challenges in simultaneous
and consecutive translation, under real-time/low latency or offline
conditions, and for a variety of languages in under-resourced or
multilingual conditions. System descriptions and results from participants=
=E2=80=99
systems, as well as scientific papers on key algorithmic advances and best
practices, are presented.

IWSLT is the venue of the SIGSLT, the Special Interest Group on Spoken
Language Translation of ACL, ISCA, and ELRA <https://iwslt.org/>. With a
track record of 20+ years, IWSLT benchmarks and proceedings serve as
references for all researchers and practitioners working in speech
translation and related fields.

Many challenges in speech translation have not yet been addressed; among
them, we are really interested in topics related to new application
scenarios (e.g. meetings, subtitling, dubbing), specific aspects (e.g.
names, accents), different styles, multilingually, discourse and
summarization, multimodal and multi-party speech translation, and automatic
evaluation metrics for speech translation. or many other ideas that
researchers have not yet focused on. Therefore, we invite proposals for
shared tasks. As a task organizer you can promote a particular challenge in
speech translation, either newly identified or worthy of continued
research. For those proposing new tasks, for inspiration, you can find the
tasks run in the previous year on the IWSLT website
<https://iwslt.org/2026/>.  Tasks will be selected in November based on
their relevance and readiness for the evaluation campaign, to enable data
to be released by the end of the year. To ensure an appropriate number of
total tracks, highly related proposals may be encouraged to merge after
initial review.

If you want to propose a new task to encourage researchers around the world
to work on particular timely challenges in SLT, please fill out the
following form <https://iwslt.org/assets/pdfs/IWSLT2027-Call_for_Tasks.pdf>
and send it to: *[email protected]
<[email protected]> *by* September 30th, 2026. *Decisions
about which tasks will run in 2027 will be announced by *November 1st, 2026=
