It keeps the word-level phrase shift of TER, so a moved phrase costs something, but the edit distance after the shifts is a character-level Levenshtein distance, with spaces counted as characters. Shifting characters directly was about 44 times slower, so… 2. **[Morpho-syntactic Information for Automatic Error Analysis of Statistical Machine Translation Output](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/popovic-2006-morpho-syntactic-information-automatic-error/)** *(2006)* The paper uses word classes to find out where an SMT system goes wrong, for Spanish and English in the TC-STAR parliament data. 3. **[Error Analysis of Statistical Machine Translation Output](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/vilar-2006-error-analysis-statistical-machine-translation/)** *(2006)* The paper gives a hand-built error typology for statistical MT output and applies it to the RWTH system in the first TC-STAR evaluation, for Spanish-to-English, English-to-Spanish and Chinese-to-English, on speech-derived data (clean text, verbatim transcripts and recogniser output). ## Co-authors (13) - Adrià de Gispert - David Vilar - Deepa Gupta - Hendrik Rosendahl - Jan-Thorsten Peter - Jia Xu - José B.
