# VLSP Evaluation Campaigns

## 1) VLSP 2022 Evaluation Campaign
### Machine Translation Shared Task
**Task Description:**  
This campaign focused on Chinese-Vietnamese Machine Translations (both Chinese-Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Chinese). Participants were challenged to address scenarios with limited data availability. Given the linguistic similarities between Chinese and Vietnamese—especially in terms of Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary, which often has a direct 1-to-1 meaning correspondence—participants could explore innovative methods tailored for similar language pairs in this task.

## 2) VLSP 2023 Evaluation Campaign
### Machine Translation Shared Task
**Task Description:**  
This year, the campaign introduced two sub-tasks focusing on Lao-Vietnamese Machine Translations (Lao-Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Lao). As with previous years, participants faced challenges related to limited data. The similarity between Lao and Vietnamese—where many Vietnamese words correspond directly in meaning to their Lao counterparts—provides a unique opportunity for participants to apply novel methods suitable for similar language pairs in this context.
