SEAHORSE: A Multilingual, Multifaceted Dataset for Summarization Evaluation

Elizabeth Clark, Shruti Rijhwani, Sebastian Gehrmann +7

Reliable automatic evaluation of summarization systems is challenging due to the multifaceted and subjective nature of the task. This is especially the case for languages other tha…

Dialect-robust Evaluation of Generated Text

Jiao Sun, Thibault Sellam, Elizabeth Clark +6

Evaluation metrics that are not robust to dialect variation make it impossible to tell how well systems perform for many groups of users, and can even penalize systems for producin…

Reward Gaming in Conditional Text Generation

Richard Yuanzhe Pang, Vishakh Padmakumar, Thibault Sellam +2

To align conditional text generation model outputs with desired behaviors, there has been an increasing focus on training the model using reinforcement learning (RL) with reward fu…

SQuId: Measuring Speech Naturalness in Many Languages

Thibault Sellam, Ankur Bapna, Joshua Camp +3

Much of text-to-speech research relies on human evaluation, which incurs heavy costs and slows down the development process. The problem is particularly acute in heavily multilingu…

Repairing the Cracked Foundation: A Survey of Obstacles in Evaluation Practices for Generated Text

Sebastian Gehrmann, Elizabeth Clark, Thibault Sellam

Evaluation practices in natural language generation (NLG) have many known flaws, but improved evaluation approaches are rarely widely adopted. This issue has become more urgent, si…

Learning Compact Metrics for MT

Amy Pu, Hyung Won Chung, Ankur P. Parikh +2

Recent developments in machine translation and multilingual text generation have led researchers to adopt trained metrics such as COMET or BLEURT, which treat evaluation as a regre…

The MultiBERTs: BERT Reproductions for Robustness Analysis

Thibault Sellam, Steve Yadlowsky, Jason Wei +9

Experiments with pre-trained models such as BERT are often based on a single checkpoint. While the conclusions drawn apply to the artifact tested in the experiment (i.e., the parti…

The GEM Benchmark: Natural Language Generation, its Evaluation and Metrics

Sebastian Gehrmann, Tosin Adewumi, Karmanya Aggarwal +53

We introduce GEM, a living benchmark for natural language Generation (NLG), its Evaluation, and Metrics. Measuring progress in NLG relies on a constantly evolving ecosystem of auto…

BLEURT: Learning Robust Metrics for Text Generation

Thibault Sellam, Dipanjan Das, Ankur P. Parikh

Text generation has made significant advances in the last few years. Yet, evaluation metrics have lagged behind, as the most popular choices (e.g., BLEU and ROUGE) may correlate po…

A Multilingual View of Unsupervised Machine Translation

Xavier Garcia, Pierre Foret, Thibault Sellam +1

We present a probabilistic framework for multilingual neural machine translation that encompasses supervised and unsupervised setups, focusing on unsupervised translation. In addit…

Sticking to the Facts: Confident Decoding for Faithful Data-to-Text Generation

Ran Tian, Shashi Narayan, Thibault Sellam +1

We address the issue of hallucination in data-to-text generation, i.e., reducing the generation of text that is unsupported by the source. We conjecture that hallucination can be c…
