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. Their output is compared with multiple… ## All works 9 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Toward a Broad-coverage Bilingual Corpus for Speech Translation of Travel Conversations in the Real World](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/takezawa-2002-broad-coverage-bilingual-corpus-speech/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Toshiyuki Takezawa, Eiichiro Sumita, Fumiaki Sugaya, et al.*2002 · 328 citations* 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/) [Workshop on Building Educational Applications Using NLP](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/workshop-on-building-educational-applications-using-nlp/)**Eiichiro Sumita, Fumiaki Sugaya, Seiichi Yamamoto*2005 · 148 citations* 3. **[Hierarchical Phrase-based Machine Translation with Word-based Reordering Model ↗](https://aclanthology.org/C10-1050/) Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics (Coling 2010) · no summary yet**Katsuhiko Hayashi et al.*2010 · 20 citations* 4. **[An automatic evaluation method of translation quality using translation answer candidates queried from a parallel corpus ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2001.mtsummit-papers.67/) Proceedings of Machine Translation Summit VIII · no summary yet**Keiji Yasuda et al.*2001 · 20 citations* 5. **[A new evaluation method for speech translation systems and a case study on ATR-MATRIX from Japanese to English ↗](https://aclanthology.org/1999.mtsummit-1.44/) Proceedings of Machine Translation Summit VII · no summary yet**Toshiyuki Takezawa et al.*1999 · 13 citations* 6. **[Experimental comparison of MT evaluation methods: RED vs.BLEU ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2003.mtsummit-papers.1/) Proceedings of Machine Translation Summit IX: Papers · no summary yet**Yasuhiro Akiba et al.*2003 · 9 citations* 7.
