Description
Integrates the third party tool MT-ComparEval into translate5.
MT-ComparEval is a tool for comparison and evaluation of machine translations. It allows users to compare translations according to several criteria, such as:
- automatic metrics of machine translation quality computed either on whole documents or single sentences
- quality comparison of single sentence translation by highlighting confirmed, improving and worsening n-grams
- summaries of the most improving and worsening n-grams for the whole document.
MT-ComparEval also plots a chart with absolute differences of metrics computed on single sentences and a chart with values obtained from paired bootstrap resampling.
This description is from https://github.com/choko/MT-ComparEval.
