چکیده

In this paper we present a tool for the evaluation of translation quality. First, the typical requirements of such a tool in the framework of machine translation (MT) research are discussed. We define evaluation criteria which are more adequate than pure edit distance and we describe how the measurement along these quality criteria is performed semi-automatically in a fast, convenient and above all consistent way using our tool and the corresponding graphical user interface.

The Correlation of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics with Human Judgement on Persian Language

Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...

Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation Quality Using N-gram Co-Occurrence Statistics

Evaluation is recognized as an extremely helpful forcing function in Human Language Technology R&D. Unfortunately, evaluation has not been a very powerful tool in machine translation (MT) research because it requires human judgments and is thus expensive and time-consuming and not easily factored into the MT research agenda. However, at the July 2001 TIDES PI meeting in Philadelphia, IBM descri...

Translation Adequacy and Preference Evaluation Tool (TAP-ET)

Evaluation of Machine Translation (MT) technology is often tied to the requirement for tedious manual judgments of translation quality. While automated MT metrology continues to be an active area of research, a well known and often accepted standard metric is the manual human assessment of adequacy and fluency. There are several software packages (RWTH, 2000) (LDC, 2005) that have been used to ...

A Framework for Diagnostic Evaluation of MT Based on Linguistic Checkpoints

This paper describes an approach to the diagnostic evaluation of machine translation (MT) based on linguistic checkpoints, which can provide valuable information both to the developers and to the end-users of MT systems. We present a flexible framework and a new tool, DELiC4MT, for fine-grained diagnostic MT evaluation which can be extended to any language pair and applied to any evaluation tar...
