METEOR: An Automatic Metric for MT Evaluation with High Levels of Correlation with Human Judgments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meteor is an automatic metric for Machine Translation evaluation which has been demonstrated to have high levels of correlation with human judgments of translation quality, significantly outperforming the more commonly used Bleu metric. It is one of several automatic metrics used in this year’s shared task within the ACL WMT-07 workshop. This paper recaps the technical details underlying the metric and describes recent improvements in the metric. The latest release includes improved metric parameters and extends the metric to support evaluation of MT output in Spanish, French and German, in addition to English.

METEOR: An Automatic Metric for MT Evaluation with Improved Correlation with Human Judgments
We describe METEOR, an automatic metric for machine translation evaluation that is based on a generalized concept of unigram matching between the machineproduced translation and human-produced reference translations. Unigrams can be matched based on their surface forms, stemmed forms, and meanings; furthermore, METEOR can be easily extended to include more advanced matching strategies. Once all...
متن کاملThe Best Lexical Metric for Phrase-Based Statistical MT System Optimization
Translation systems are generally trained to optimize BLEU, but many alternative metrics are available. We explore how optimizing toward various automatic evaluation metrics (BLEU, METEOR, NIST, TER) affects the resulting model. We train a state-of-the-art MT system using MERT on many parameterizations of each metric and evaluate the resulting models on the other metrics and also using human ju...
متن کاملFully Automatic Semantic MT Evaluation
We introduce the first fully automatic, fully semantic frame based MT evaluation metric, MEANT, that outperforms all other commonly used automatic metrics in correlating with human judgment on translation adequacy. Recent work on HMEANT, which is a human metric, indicates that machine translation can be better evaluated via semantic frames than other evaluation paradigms, requiring only minimal...
متن کاملInsight into Multiple References in an MT Evaluation Metric
Current evaluation metrics in machine translation (MT) make poor use of multiple reference translations. In this paper we focus on the METEOR metric to gain in-depth insights into how best multiple references can be exploited. Results on five score selection strategies reveal that it is not always wise to choose the best (closest to MT) reference to generate the candidate score. We also propose...
متن کاملMeteor 1.3: Automatic Metric for Reliable Optimization and Evaluation of Machine Translation Systems
This paper describes Meteor 1.3, our submission to the 2011 EMNLP Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation automatic evaluation metric tasks. New metric features include improved text normalization, higher-precision paraphrase matching, and discrimination between content and function words. We include Ranking and Adequacy versions of the metric shown to have high correlation with human judgm...
