We are finally launching the 2024 GEM multilingual shared task! It comprises 2 main tasks, Data-to-text generation and Summarization, each of which has 3 subtasks. You can submit automatically generated outputs for one or more subtask(s), in Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Hindi, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and/or Swahili. More information at https://gem-benchmark.com/shared_task.

The GEM shared task is endorsed by SIGGEN, and will be part of the Generation Challenges (GenChal) at INLG’24. Participants will have the possibility to (i) publish a system description in the GenChal proceedings (available on the ACL anthology), and (ii) present their results during the GenChal session at the INLG conference in Tokyo in September 2024.

Important dates:
- February 20: GEM shared task launched, pre-registration open.
- March 8: Deadline for pre-registering systems (pre-registration will remain open until the submission date; late pre-registrations do not guarantee participation to the human evaluation, see website)
- April 5: Deadline for output submission (all subtasks).
- April 6 Human evaluation starts.
- Late September 2024: GEM at INLG'24 in Tokyo.

Looking forward to receiving your submissions!
