Abstract | One problem of automatic translation is the evaluation of the result. The result should be as close to a human reference translation as possible, but varying word order or synonyms have to be taken into account for the evaluation of the similarity of both. In the conventional methods, researchers tend to employ many resources such as the synonyms vocabulary, paraphrasing, and text entailment data, etc. To make the evaluation model both accurate and concise, this paper explores the evaluation only using Part-of-Speech information of the words, which means the method is based only on the consilience of the POS strings of the hypothesis translation and reference. In this developed method, the POS also acts as the similar function with the synonyms in addition to its syntactic or morphological behaviour of the lexical item in question. Measures for the similarity between machine translation and human reference are dependent on the language pair since the word order or the number of synonyms may vary, for instance. This new measure solves this problem to a certain extent by introducing weights to different sources of information. The experiment results on English, German and French languages correlate on average better with the human reference than some existing measures, such as BLEU, AMBER and MP4IBM1. |
