Ties Matter: Meta-Evaluating Modern Metrics with Pairwise Accuracy and Tie Calibration (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing variants of Kendall's tau have weaknesses in handling of ties, and in some situations can even be gamed. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Kendall's tau to meta-evaluate machine translation evaluation metrics with a version of pairwise accuracy that gives metrics credit for correctly predicting ties and a tie calibration procedure that automatically introduces ties into metric scores. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model gives metrics credit for correctly predicting ties and introduces ties into metric scores, enabling fair comparison between metrics that do and do not predict ties. |
