Vilém Zouhar

I co-organize various shared tasks of the WMT conference (Multilingual Instruction, Automatic Evaluation, Terminology). Primarily I lead the human evaluation of the General Translation Task.
I co-organized the first Multilingual Multicultural Evaluation workshop at EACL 2026.
I review at almost every ACL/ARR since 2023. Despite its criticisms, I find it to be enjoyable personally and also vital for the community.
Many times I was a committee member for granting university accreditations in Czechia.

I enjoy socializing and am grateful to have been invited to give the following talks:
