[EACL 2021] Rethinking Coherence Modeling: Synthetic vs. Downstream Tasks
Tasnim Mohiuddin, Prathyusha Jwalapuram, Xiang Lin, Shafiq Joty
We conduct experiments on benchmarking well-known traditional and neural coherence models on synthetic sentence ordering tasks, and contrast this with their performance on three downstream applications: coherence evaluation for MT and summarization, and next utterance prediction in retrieval-based dialog.
[arXiv] Can Your Context-Aware MT System Pass the DiP Benchmark Tests? : Evaluation Benchmarks for Discourse Phenomena in Machine Translation
Prathyusha Jwalapuram, Barbara Rychalska, Shafiq Joty, Dominika Basaj
We introduce the first of their kind MT benchmark datasets that aim to track and hail improvements across four main discourse phenomena: anaphora, lexical consistency, coherence and readability, and discourse connective translation. We also introduce evaluation methods for these tasks, and evaluate several baseline MT systems on the datasets.
[EMNLP 2019] Evaluating Pronominal Anaphora in Machine Translation: An Evaluation Measure and a Test Suite
Prathyusha Jwalapuram, Shafiq Joty, Irina Temnikova, Preslav Nakov
We contribute an extensive, targeted dataset that can be used as a test suite for pronoun translation, covering multiple source languages and different pronoun errors drawn from real system translations, for English. We further propose an evaluation measure to differentiate good and bad pronoun translations.
