A quantitative method for machine translation evaluation
Jesús Tomás, Josep Àngel Mas, Francisco Casacuberta · 2003
Accurate evaluation of machine translation (MT) is an open problem. A brief survey of the current approach to tackle this problem is presented and a new proposal is introduced. This proposal attempts to measure the percentage of words, which should be modified at the output of an automatic translator in order to obtain a correct translation. To show the feasibility of the method we have assessed the most important Spanish-Catalan translators in comparing the results obtained by the various methods.
