METEOR-NEXT and the METEOR Paraphrase Tables: Improved Evaluation Support for Five Target Languages
Michael Denkowski, Alon Lavie · 2010
This paper describes our submission to the WMT10 Shared Evaluation Task and MetricsMATR10. We present a version of the METEOR-NEXT metric with para-phrase tables for five target languages. We describe the creation of these paraphrase tables and conduct a tuning experiment that demonstrates consistent improvement across all languages over baseline ver-sions of the metric without paraphrase re-sources. 1
