In order to continue to provide a common forum for the expanding range
of shared-task activities involving language generation, we are
organising Generation Challenges 2011 (GenChal'11).
Shared Tasks
There are currently four active challenges under the GenChal'11 umbrella (except where stated otherwise, challenges are running an evaluation round in 2011, with results to be presented at the GenChal session at ENLG'11):
- Surface Realisation (White, van Genabith, Hogan, Stent and Belz): Generation of sentences from shallow and deep input representations. Call for Pre-registration has been posted.
- The GIVE-2.5 Challenge (Koller et al.): Generation of
natural-language instructions to aid human task-solving in a virtual
environment. The GIVE-2.5 task will be the same as the GIVE-2
task. The Call for
Participation and the software infrastructure have
been posted (see http://www.give-challenge.org/research/) so that
development can begin immediately.
- Helping Our Own (Dale and Kilgariff): Text correction, in particular of academic articles written by non-native speakers. See HOO website for Call for Participation and further details.
- Question Generation (Rus, Graesser, Piwek et al.): next evaluation round in 2012; status report to be presented at GenChal'11.
In addition, we will post a call for task proposals which will be
presented for discussion at the GenChal'11 session at ENLG'11 (with a
view to running them as tasks in 2012).
