ATR researchers wanted a bilingual Japanese–English resource that could support wider, real-world travel use. They contrasted two complementary corpora. The first is the spoken travel conversation corpus (TC)… 2. **[Measuring Non-native Speakers' Proficiency of English by Using a Test with Automatically-Generated Fill-in-the-Blank Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sumita-2005-measuring-non-native-speakers-proficiency/)** *(2005 · 148 citations)* The paper addresses the high cost of writing fill-in-the-blank (FBQ) English proficiency tests. Good wrong options, which mislead only weaker learners, normally require skilled human writers. The authors build an automatic pipeline that works from a seed sentence taken from business and travel conversation corpora or… 3. **[Automatic Measuring of English Language Proficiency using MT Evaluation Technology](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yasuda-2004-automatic-measuring-english-language-proficiency/)** *(2004 · 6 citations)* The paper asks whether tools built to score machine translation can also grade human learners of English. The authors want a fast, computer-run test that does not require experts to write multiple-choice items. Japanese learners translate Japanese sentences into English.
