WMT SQM Human Evaluation
The WMT SQM Human Evaluation dataset contains human evaluations on the quality of machine translations, collected during the WMT 2022 conference. Annotations combine a direct evaluation (raw score) and a scalar metric to stabilize scores between annotators.
Description
This dataset shows human DA+SQM (Direct Assessment + Scalar Quality Metric) annotations for the quality of machine translations from the WMT 2022 task. Each entry includes source text, machine translation, reference, evaluation score, and metadata such as language pair, domain, and year.
What is this dataset for?
- Evaluating the quality of machine translation systems
- Analyze inter-annotator variability and stabilize scores
- Improve and compare MT models across domains and languages
Can it be enriched or improved?
Yes, by adding more language pairs, from various fields, or by combining with other automatic or human evaluation metrics.
