Towards document-level human MT evaluation: on the issues of annotator agreement, effort and misevaluation

Castilho, Sheila orcid logoORCID: 0000-0002-8416-6555 (2021) Towards document-level human MT evaluation: on the issues of annotator agreement, effort and misevaluation. In: 16th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics - EACL 2021., 19-23 April 2021, Online.

Abstract
Document-level human evaluation of machine translation (MT) has been raising interest in the community. However, little is known about the issues of using document-level methodologies to assess MT quality. In this article, we compare the inter-annotator agreement (IAA) scores, the effort to assess the quality in different document-level methodologies, and the issue of misevaluation when sentences are evaluated out of context.
