We are happy to announce that the 2019 Surface Realization Shared Task (SR'19) is now open!

For this second edition of the challenge, the general objective is again to produce a well-formed sentence out of the given input structures derived from the UD dataset. This year, there are 11 different languages, including 5 new ones: Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean. SR'19 is organized as part of the Multilingual Surface Realization workshop, which will be collocated with EMNLP in Hong Kong in November.
