Professional translators, working with the full document, marked errors in the outputs of the ten top systems of WMT 2020 (human references included) for English-to-German and Chinese-to-English, using the MQM framework. The errors… 2. **[KoBE: Knowledge-Based Machine Translation Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gekhman-2020-kobe-knowledge-based-machine-translation/)** *(2020)* KoBE is a reference-free metric. Each source sentence and each candidate translation is linked to a large multilingual knowledge base, using entity linking. The score is the recall of source entities that are linked to the same knowledge-base entry in the candidate, clipped by the number of times each entity occurs… ## Co-authors (8) - [Markus Freitag](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/markus-freitag/) ×2 - David Grangier - Genady Beryozkin - [George Foster](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/george-foster/) - Qijun Tan - [Roee Aharoni](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/roee-aharoni/) - Viresh Ratnakar - Zorik Gekhman ## More papers in the library (4) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) for Language Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gulcehre-2023-reinforced-self-training-rest-language/) — Caglar Gulcehre, Tom Le Paine, Srivatsan Srinivasan, et al. · 2023 - [Massively Multilingual Neural Machine Translation in the Wild: Findings and Challenges](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/arivazhagan-2019-massively-multilingual-neural-machine-translation/) — Naveen Arivazhagan, Ankur Bapna, Orhan Firat, et al. · 2019 - [The Best of Both Worlds: Combining Recent Advances in Neural Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2018-best-both-worlds-combining-recent/) — Mia Xu Chen, Orhan Firat, Ankur Bapna, et al. · 2018 - [Lattice-based Minimum Error Rate Training for Statistical Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/macherey-2008-lattice-based-minimum-error-rate/) — Wolfgang Macherey, Franz Och, Ignacio Thayer, et al. · 2008
