Evaluation experiment for reading comprehension of machine translation outputs

Masaru Fuji


Abstract
This paper proposes evaluation methods for reading comprehension of English to Japanese translation outputs. The methods were designed not only to evaluate the performance of current systems, but to evaluate the performance of future systems had the current problems been solved. The experiments have shown that the proposed methods are capable of producing results that are statistically significant, and that improvement in certain linguistic aspects will result in significant improvement in the comprehension level.
