Findings of the IWSLT 2025 Evaluation Campaign

Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents the outcomes of the shared tasks conducted at the 22nd International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT). The workshop addressed seven critical challenges in spoken language translation: simultaneous and offline translation, automatic subtitling and dubbing, model compression, speech-to-speech translation, dialect and low-resource speech translation, and Indic languages. The shared tasks garnered significant participation, with 32 teams submitting their runs. The field’s growing importance is reflected in the increasing diversity of shared task organizers and contributors to this overview paper, representing a balanced mix of industrial and academic institutions. This broad participation demonstrates the rising prominence of spoken language translation in both research and practical applications.
