Speaker: Jonathan May, SDL- Language Weaver
Talk Title: "Models of Translation Competitions (long paper at ACL2013)"
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: What do we want to learn from a translation competition and how do we learn it with confidence? We argue that a disproportionate focus on ranking competition participants has led to lots of different rankings, but little insight about which rankings we should trust. In response, we provide the first framework that allows an empirical comparison of different analyses of competition results. We then use this framework to compare several analytical models on data from the Workshop on Machine Translation (WMT).
