Funding organisations, scientists, and the general public need robust and reliable ways to evaluate the output of scientific research.

They show that expert assessors are biased by the impact factor (IF) of the journal in which the paper has...
متن کاملRe-evaluating split-fovea processing in word recognition: a critical assessment of recent research.

We argue that the machine translation community is overly reliant on the Bleu machine translation evaluation metric. We show that an improved Bleu score is neither necessary nor sufficient for achieving an actual improvement in translation quality, and give two significant counterexamples to Bleu’s correlation with human judgments of quality. This offers new potential for research which was pre...
