Human evaluations of machine translation
are extensive but expensive. Human evaluations can take months to finish and involve human labor that can not be reused.
We propose a method of automatic machine translation evaluation that is quick,
inexpensive, and language-independent,
that correlates highly with human evaluation, and that has little marginal cost per
run. We present this method as an automated understudy to skilled human judges
which substitutes for them when there is
need for quick or frequent evaluations.
