Metric for Automatic Machine Translation Evaluation based on Universal Sentence Representations
Hiroki Shimanaka, Tomoyuki Kajiwara, Mamoru Komachi · 2018
Sentence representations can capture a wide range of information that cannot be captured by local features based on character or word N-grams.This paper examines the usefulness of universal sentence representations for evaluating the quality of machine translation.Although it is difficult to train sentence representations using small-scale translation datasets with manual evaluation, sentence representations trained from large-scale data in other tasks can improve the automatic evaluation of machine translation.Experimental results of the WMT-2016 dataset show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance with sentence representation features only.
