EED: Extended Edit Distance Measure for Machine Translation
Peter L. Stanchev, Weiyue Wang, Hermann Ney · 2019
Over the years a number of machine translation metrics have been developed in order to evaluate the accuracy and quality of machinegenerated translations.Metrics such as BLEU and TER have been used for decades.However, with the rapid progress of machine translation systems, the need for better metrics is growing.This paper proposes an extension of the edit distance, which achieves better human correlation, whilst remaining fast, flexible and easy to understand.
