Automatic Detection of Machine Translated Text and Translation Quality Estimation
Roee Aharoni, Moshe Koppel, Yoav Goldberg · 2014
We show that it is possible to automatically detect machine translated text at sentence level from monolingual corpora, using text classification methods.We show further that the accuracy with which a learned classifier can detect text as machine translated is strongly correlated with the translation quality of the machine translation system that generated it.Finally, we offer a generic machine translation quality estimation technique based on this approach, which does not require reference sentences.
