Referee: Reference Assembly Quality Scores

Aggregating Referee Scores: an Algebraic Approach

This paper presents a quantitative solution to the problem of aggregating referee scores for manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed conferences or scientific journals. The proposed approach is a particular application of the Dempster-Shafer theory to a restricted setting, from which an interesting algebraic framework results. The paper investigates the algebraic properties of this framework and...

Adaptive reference-free compression of sequence quality scores

MOTIVATION Rapid technological progress in DNA sequencing has stimulated interest in compressing the vast datasets that are now routinely produced. Relatively little attention has been paid to compressing the quality scores that are assigned to each sequence, even though these scores may be harder to compress than the sequences themselves. By aggregating a set of reads into a compressed index, ...

Match without a Referee: Evaluating MT Adequacy without Reference Translations

We address two challenges for automatic machine translation evaluation: a) avoiding the use of reference translations, and b) focusing on adequacy estimation. From an economic perspective, getting rid of costly hand-crafted reference translations (a) permits to alleviate the main bottleneck in MT evaluation. From a system evaluation perspective, pushing semantics into MT (b) is a necessity in o...

Special populations: the referee and assistant referee.

The referee has responsibility for control of players' behaviour during competitive football and implementing the rules of the game. To do this, the referee and the two assistant referees are obliged to keep up with play. Referees cover 10,000 m on average during a game, mean heart rate is about 160 - 165 beats . min(-1) and oxygen uptake is close to 80% of maximum (VO(2max). Assistant referees...
