Reading metrics for estimating task efficiency with MT output

2015

We show that metrics derived from recording gaze while reading, are better proxies for machine translation quality than automated metrics. With reliable eyetracking technologies becoming available for home computers and mobile devices, such metrics are …

Attaining the unattainable? Reassessing claimsof human parity in neural machine translation

2018

We reassess a recent study (Hassan et al., 2018) that claimed that machine translation (MT) has reached human parity for the translation of news from Chinese into English, using pairwise ranking and considering three variables …

Is Neural Machine Translation the New State of the Art?

2017 · ˜The œPrague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics

Abstract This paper discusses neural machine translation (NMT), a new paradigm in the MT field, comparing the quality of NMT systems with statistical MT by describing three studies using automatic and human evaluation methods. Automatic …
