The Contribution of Linguistic Features to Automatic Machine Translation Evaluation
A number of approaches to Automatic MT Evaluation based on deep linguistic knowledge have been suggested. However, n-gram based metrics are still today the dominant approach. The ...

Adaptive Learning in Machine Summarization
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for extractive summarization. Our framework allows the summarizer to adapt and improve itself. Experimental results show that our summa...

All, and only, the Errors: more Complete and Consistent Spelling and OCR-Error Correction Evaluation
Some time in the future, some spelling error correction system will correct all the errors, and only the errors. We need evaluation metrics that will tell us when this has been ac...

A Dataset for Assessing Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics
We describe a dataset containing 16,000 translations produced by four machine translation systems and manually annotated for quality by professional translators. This dataset can ...

Regression for Sentence-Level MT Evaluation with Pseudo References
Many automatic evaluation metrics for machine translation (MT) rely on making comparisons to human translations, a resource that may not always be available. We present a method f...

MAXSIM: A Maximum Similarity Metric for Machine Translation Evaluation
We propose an automatic machine translation (MT) evaluation metric that calculates a similarity score (based on precision and recall) of a pair of sentences. Unlike most metrics, ...
