ALTA Shared Task 2021
Welcome to the Language Technology Programming Competition. This competition is organised by ALTA.
What is ALTA?
ALTA is the Australasian Language Technology Association. ALTA's mission is to promote language technology research and development in Australia and New Zealand. ALTA organises workshops like ALTA 2021, and supports competitions like the Australian High-School Computational and Linguistics Olympiad (OzCLO) and this programming competition.
What is this competition about?
This is our twelfth programming competition and it aims at university students with programming experience. The competition is formatted as a "shared task": all participants compete to solve the same problem. The problem is the object of active research and nobody has (yet) obtained 100% correct results. In this competition, the winner will be the team who obtains the best results. If you participate and obtain 100% results you should definitely consider doing a PhD on the topic!
There are no limitations on the size of the teams or the means that
they can use to solve the problem, as long as the processing
is fully automatic - there should be no human
intervention. We will give you a sample of data for you to
use and develop your system from the point you decide to join the
competition. As soon as you join the competition you will have access
to the training and dev-test data that you can use to develop your system.
To qualify for the prize of $150 $500 (AUD) you need to present your results and a description of
your system at ALTA 2021.
What are the competition categories?
There are two categories: a student category and an open category.
- All the members of the student category must be university students. It cannot have members that are full-time employed or that have completed a PhD.
- Any other teams will fall into the open category.
How do I register?
