A Poor Man’s Translation Memory Using Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics

Michel Simard, Atsushi Fujita


Abstract
We propose straightforward implementations of translation memory (TM) functionality for research purposes, using machine translation evaluation metrics as similarity functions. Experiments under various conditions demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, but also highlight problems in evaluating the results using an MT evaluation methodology.
