A Proposed User Study on MT-Enabled Scanning

Marianna J Martindale, Marine Carpuat


Abstract
In this talk I will present a proposed user study to measure the impact of potentially misleading MT output on MT-enabled scanning of foreign language text by intelligence analysts (IAs) and the effectiveness of a practical intervention: providing output from more than one NMT system to the user. The focus of the talk will be on the approach to de-signing the user study to resemble scanning tasks in a measurable way with unclassified documents.
