Abstract

The evaluation campaign of the International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT 2021) featured this year four shared tasks:(i) Simultaneous speech translation,(ii) Offline speech translation,(iii) Multilingual speech translation,(iv) Low-resource speech translation. A total of 22 teams participated in at least one of the tasks. This paper de-scribes each shared task, data and evaluation metrics, and reports results of the received submissions.
