Document-Level Machine Translation Evaluation with Gist Consistency and Text Cohesion
Zhengxian Gong, Min Zhang, Guodong Zhou · 2015
Current Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) is significantly affected by Machine Translation (MT) evaluation metric.Nowadays the emergence of document-level MT research increases the demand for corresponding evaluation metric.This paper proposes two superior yet low-cost quantitative objective methods to enhance traditional MT metric by modeling document-level phenomena from the perspectives of gist consistency and text cohesion.The experimental results show the proposed metrics can obtain better correlation with human judgments than traditional metrics on evaluating document-level translation quality.
