Findings of the third shared task on multimodal machine translation

We present the results from the third shared task on multimodal machine translation. In this
task a source sentence in English is supplemented by an image and participating systems
are required to generate a translation for such a sentence into German, French or Czech.
The image can be used in addition to (or instead of) the source sentence. This year the task
was extended with a third target language (Czech) and a new test set. In addition, a variant
of this task was introduced with its own test set where the source sentence is given in …

Findings of the second shared task on multimodal machine translation and multilingual image description

We present the results from the second shared task on multimodal machine translation and
multilingual image description. Nine teams submitted 19 systems to two tasks. The
multimodal translation task, in which the source sentence is supplemented by an image, was
extended with a new language (French) and two new test sets. The multilingual image
description task was changed such that at test time, only the image is given. Compared to
last year, multimodal systems improved, but text-only systems remain competitive.
