The 2025 MT Evaluation shared task brings together the strengths of the previous Metrics and Quality Estimation tasks under a single, unified evaluation framework. The following tasks are now open (deadline July 31st but participation has never been easier 🙂)

📐Task 1: Segment-level quality score prediction Predict a quality score for each source–target segment pair, using document-level context and either ESA or MQM annotations. Description: www2.statmt.org/wmt25/mteval-s… Submission platform: codabench.org/competitions/9…

📐Task 2: Span-level error detection Identify and locate translation errors within each segment (start/end indices) and classify their severity. Description: www2.statmt.org/wmt25/mteval-s… Submission platform: codabench.org/competitions/9…

📐Task 3: Quality-informed segment-level error correction Automatically post-edit machine-translated text using quality annotations to generate minimal and accurate corrections. Description: www2.statmt.org/wmt25/mteval-s… Submission platform: codabench.org/competitions/8…

Organizers are happy to help with any questions. 🙂 Website with all details and contacts: www2.statmt.org/wmt25/mteval-s…
