Abstract
We present VERA, an easy-to-use platform for machine translation (MT) evaluation that integrates automatic and human evaluation within a single web environment. VERA supports standard reference based metrics and multiuser annotation following the Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) Core framework. The platform enables the export of annotated corpora and the generation of final PDF reports summarizing both automatic and human evaluation results, including correlations between them.- Anthology ID:
