The IWSLT 2016 Evaluation Campaign featured two tasks:
the translation of talks and the translation of video conference
conversations. While the first task extends previously
offered tasks with talks from a different source, the second
task is completely new. For both tasks, three tracks were
organised: automatic speech recognition (ASR), spoken language
translation (SLT), and machine translation (MT). Main
translation directions that were offered are English to/from
German and English to French. Additionally, the MT track
included English to/from Arabic and Czech, as well as
French to English. We received this year run submissions
from 11 research labs. All runs were evaluated with objective
metrics, while submissions for two of the MT talk tasks
were also evaluated with human post-editing. Results of the
human evaluation show improvements over the best submissions
of last year
