🔥The #AmericasNLP25 machine translation shared task features two new languages!🔥

Wayuu is spoken in Colombia and Venezuela. It is part of the Arawak language family.

Awajún is spoken by the Aguaruna people in northern Peru and belongs to the Chicham language family.

Translation from and into Indigenous languages is still an open problem in #NLProc.

A classic is back: the #AmericasNLP25 machine translation shared task! Can LLMs beat seq2seq models? Or will another type of system win? Let‘s find out!🤩

Teaching and learning of Indigenous languages can be tricky due to a lack of educational material.

Participants of the second #AmericasNLP25 shared task will develop #NLProc systems that can create exercises for learners of Indigenous languages.

BLEU is bad, ChrF++ is okay, but can we do better??😃

The #AmericasNLP25 shared task on MT metrics for Indigenous languages tries to answer this question: participants will develop automatic metrics that work for Bribri, Guarani, and Nahuatl.
