Translation Evaluation in Educational Settings for Training Purposes
Authors
Abstract:
The following article describes different methods and techniques used in educational settings for translation evaluation. Translation evaluation is the placing of value on a translation i.e. awarding a mark, even if only a binary pass/fail one. In the present study, different features of the texts chosen for evaluation were firstly considered and then scoring the text based on their difficulty was discussed. For translator teachers and evaluators a key problem is assessing the difficulty of source texts used in tests and examinations. Thus, the significance of corpus as a large collection of texts in electronic format which can be a useful performance-enhancing tool in translating and evaluating was described.

We propose three new features for MT evaluation: source-sentence constrained n-gram precision, source-sentence reordering metrics, and discriminative unigram precision, as well as a method of learning linear feature weights to directly maximize correlation with human judgments. Our source-sentence constrained n-gram precision achieves, among all the testing metrics including BLEU, NIST, ROUGE, ...
