## Papers

1. **[chrF++: words helping character n-grams](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/popovic-2017-chrf-words-helping-character-n/)** *(2017)* The paper asks whether word n-grams add anything to the character chrF score, and whether chrF tracks direct human assessment (absolute scores per segment) as well as it tracks the relative rankings used earlier.
2. **[chrF deconstructed: beta parameters and n-gram weights](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/popovic-2016-chrf-deconstructed-beta-parameters-n/)** *(2016)* The paper examines the two free settings of chrF: the β parameter and the weights of the n-gram orders. It sweeps β from 1/6 (precision-heavy) to 6 (recall-heavy) and computes segment-level Kendall's tau against human rankings on the WMT 2014 and WMT 2015 outputs, for English and several other target languages. It…
3. **[chrF: character n-gram F-score for automatic MT evaluation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/popovic-2015-chrf-character-n-gram-f/)** *(2015)* The paper proposes chrF, an F-score over character n-grams. Precision is the share of hypothesis character n-grams found in the reference, recall is the share of reference n-grams found in the hypothesis, both averaged over n-gram lengths up to 6, and a parameter β gives recall β times the weight of precision. The…
4. **[Automatic MT Error Analysis: Hjerson Helping Addicter](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/berka-2012-automatic-mt-error-analysis-hjerson/)** *(2012)* The paper presents an open-source tool for detailed MT error analysis. It joins two systems: Hjerson, the automatic classifier from Popović (2011), and Addicter, which brings alignment, a web interface and a corpus browser. Errors are found by comparing the output with the reference through a chosen word alignment…
5. **[From Human to Automatic Error Classification for Machine Translation Output](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/popovic-2011-human-automatic-error-classification-machine/)** *(2011)* The paper turns a manual error typology into an automatic classifier. The classifier uses the word-level alignment behind WER and two position-independent error rates, one computed on the reference (words of the reference missing from the output) and one on the hypothesis (extra words in the output). Each error is…
6. **[Morpho-syntactic Information for Automatic Error Analysis of Statistical Machine Translation Output](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/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.
