Multeval

Linkhttps://github.com/jhclark/multeval
Intro: MultEval takes machine translation hypotheses from several runs of an optimizer and provides 3 popular metric scores, as well as, standard deviations (via bootstrap resampling) and p-values (via approximate randomization). This allows researchers to mitigate some of the risk of using unstable optimizers such as MERT, MIRA, and MCMC. It is intended to help in evaluating the impact of in-house experimental variations on translation quality; it is currently not setup to do bake-off style comparisons (bake-offs can't require multiple optimizer runs nor a standard tokenization).

TER-Plus (TERp)

TERp: http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~snover/terp/

Intro
TERp is an automatic evaluation metric for Machine Translation, which takes as input a set of reference translations, and a set of machine translation output for that same data. It aligns the MT output to the reference translations, and measures the number of 'edits' needed to transform the MT output into the reference translation. TERp is an extension of TER (Translation Edit Rate) that utilizes phrasal substitutions (using automatically generated paraphrases), stemming, synonyms, relaxed shifting constraints and other improvements.


Open Toolkit for Automatic MT (Meta-) Evaluation

Asiya: http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~nlp/Asiya/

Asiya has been designed to assist both system and metric developers by offering a rich repository of metrics and meta-metrics. Asiya has been developed at TALP Research Center NLP group , in Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, as an evolution, extension, refactoring, and finally a replacement for its predecessor, IQMT.
