4 Why do we care?... or why is this the first lecture of the Marathon? In the business of developing MT, we need to measure progress over new/alternative versions compare different MT systems decide whether a translation is good enough for something optimise parameters of MT systems understand where systems go wrong (diagnosis) Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 4 / 38

5 Why do we care? One should optimise a system using the same metric that will be used to evaluate it Issue: how to choose a metric? Choice should be related to the purpose of the system will be used (not the case in practice) Other aspects are important for tuning (sentence/corpus-level, fast, cheap, differentiable,...) Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 5 / 38

8 Complex problem MT evaluation is better understood than MT (Carbonell and Wilks, 1991) There are more MT evaluation metrics than MT approaches (Specia, 2016) Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 6 / 38

9 Complex problem What does quality mean? Fluent? Adequate? Both? Easy to post-edit? System A better than system B?... Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 7 / 38

10 Complex problem What does quality mean? Fluent? Adequate? Both? Easy to post-edit? System A better than system B?... Quality for whom/what? End-user (gisting vs dissemination) Post-editor (light vs heavy post-editing) Other applications (e.g. CLIR) MT-system (tuning or diagnosis for improvement)...

36 Assumption The closer an MT system output is to a human translation (HT = reference), the better it is. Which system is better? MT 1 MT 2 Indignation in front of photos of a veiled woman controlled on the beach in Nice. Outrage at pictures of a veiled woman controlled on the beach in Nice.

40 BLEU BLEU: BiLingual Evaluation Understudy Most widely used metric, both for MT system evaluation/comparison and SMT tuning Matching of n-grams between MT and HT: rewards same words in equal order #clip(g) count of reference n-grams g which happen in a MT sentence h clipped by the number of times g appears in the HT sentence for h; #(g ) = number of n-grams in MT output n-gram precision p n for a set of translations in C: p n = c C c C g ngrams(c) #clip(g) g ngrams(c) #(g ) Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 14 / 38

42 BLEU Combine (mean of the log) 1-n n-gram precisions log p n n Bias towards translations with fewer words Brevity penalty to penalise MT sentences that are shorter than reference Compares the overall number of words w h of the entire hypotheses set with { ref length w r : 1 if w c w r BP = (1 wr /wc) e otherwise Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 15 / 38

43 BLEU Combine (mean of the log) 1-n n-gram precisions log p n n Bias towards translations with fewer words Brevity penalty to penalise MT sentences that are shorter than reference Compares the overall number of words w h of the entire hypotheses set with { ref length w r : 1 if w c w r BP = (1 wr /wc) e otherwise ( ) BLEU = BP exp log p n Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 15 / 38 n

44 BLEU Scale: 0-1, but highly dependent on the test set Rewards fluency by matching high n-grams (up to 4) Rewards adequacy by unigrams and brevity penalty poor model of recall Synonyms and paraphrases only handled if in one of reference translations All tokens are equally weighted: incorrect content word = incorrect determiner Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 16 / 38

45 BLEU Scale: 0-1, but highly dependent on the test set Rewards fluency by matching high n-grams (up to 4) Rewards adequacy by unigrams and brevity penalty poor model of recall Synonyms and paraphrases only handled if in one of reference translations All tokens are equally weighted: incorrect content word = incorrect determiner Better for evaluating changes in the same system than comparing different MT architectures Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 16 / 38

46 BLEU Example: MT: in two weeks Iraq s weapons will give army HT: the Iraqi weapons are to be handed over to the army within two weeks 1-gram precision: 4/8 2-gram precision: 1/7 3-gram precision: 0/6 4-gram precision: 0/5 Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 17 / 38

51 Alignment-based metrics METEOR: Unigram Precision and Recall Align MT & HT Matching considers inflection variants (stems), synonyms, paraphrases Fluency addressed via a direct penalty: fragmentation of the matching METEOR score = F-mean score discounted for fragmentation = F-mean * (1 - DF) Parameters can be trained Translation Quality Assessment: Evaluation and Estimation 19 / 38
