Document-Level Machine Translation Evaluation Project: Methodology, Effort and Inter-Annotator Agreement

Document-level (doc-level) human eval-uation of machine translation (MT) has raised interest in the community after a fewattempts have disproved claims of “human parity” (Toral et al., 2018; Laubli et al.,2018). However, little is known about bestpractices regarding doc-level human evalu-ation. The goal of this project is to identifywhich methodologies better cope with i)the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) humanmetrics, ii) a possible complexity when as-signing a single score to a text consisted of‘good’ and ‘bad’ sentences, iii) a possibletiredness bias in doc-level set-ups, and iv)the difference in inter-annotator agreement(IAA) between sentence and doc-level set-ups.
