  abstract  = {Traditional machine translation evaluation metrics such as BLEU and WER have
	been widely used, but these metrics have poor correlations with human
	judgements because they badly represent word similarity and impose strict
	identity matching. In this paper, we propose some modifications to the
	traditional measures based on word embeddings for these two metrics. The
	evaluation results show that our modifications significantly improve their
	correlation with human judgements.},
