Abstract

This paper describes our submission to the WMT10 Shared Evaluation Task and MetricsMATR10. We present a version of the Meteor-next metric with paraphrase tables for five target languages. We describe the creation of these paraphrase tables and conduct a tuning experiment that demonstrates consistent improvement across all languages over baseline versions of the metric without paraphrase resources.
