This data set contains four types of manual annotation of translation quality, focusing on the comparison of human and machine translation quality (aka human-parity). The machine translation system used is English-Czech CUNI Transformer (CUBBITT). The annotations distinguish adequacy, fluency and overall quality. One of the types is Translation Turing test - detecting whether the annotators can distinguish human from machine translation. All the sentences are taken from the English-Czech test set newstest2018 (WMT2018 News translation shared task www.statmt.org/wmt18/translation-task.html), but only from the half with originally English sentences translated to Czech by a professional agency.
