WMT 2018

Introduced by Ond{\v{r}}ej Bojar et al. in Findings of the 2018 Conference on Machine Translation (WMT18)1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

WMT 2018 is a collection of datasets used in shared tasks of the Third Conference on Machine Translation. The conference builds on a series of twelve previous annual workshops and conferences on Statistical Machine Translation.

The conference featured ten shared tasks:

  • a news translation task,
  • a biomedical translation task,
  • a multimodal machine translation task,
  • a metrics task,
  • a quality estimation task,
  • an automatic post-editing task,
  • a parallel corpus filtering task.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

3 shown of 3 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 37. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
