Perceptions of Educators on MTQA Curriculum and Instruction

This paper reports the results of a survey aimed at identifying and exploring the attitudes and recommendations of machine translation quality assessment (MTQA) educators. Drawing upon elements from the literature on MTQA teaching, the survey explores themes that may pose a challenge or lead to successful implementation of human evaluation, as the literature shows that there has not been enough design and reporting. Results show educators’ awareness of the topic, awareness stemming from the recommendations of the literature on MT evaluation, and reports new challenges and issues.
