User Evaluation of Interactive Machine Translation Systems
Vincent Alabau, Luis A. Leiva, Daniel Ortiz-Martínez, Francisco Casacuberta · 2012
Recent developments in search algorithms and software architecture have enabled multi-user web-based prototypes for Inter-active Machine Translation (IMT), a tech-nology that aims to assist, rather than re-place, the human translator. Surprisingly, formal human evaluations of IMT systems are highly scarce in the literature. To this regard, we discuss experiences gained while testing IMT systems. We report the lessons learned from two user evalua-tions. Our results can provide researchers and practitioners with several guidelines towards the design of on-line IMT tools. 1
