"text": "Recent years have seen a growing discomfort with the use of automatic metrics like BLEU (Papineni et al., 2002) for the evaluation of natural language generation (NLG) systems (e.g., Sulem et al. 2018; Reiter 2018; Mathur et al. 2020) . Much of the criticism centers around the fact that these metrics show poor agreement with human judgments. While many researchers have tried to develop new metrics that are better suited to evaluate NLG systems (e.g. tailored to the domain like SPICE (Anderson et al., 2016) or with intensive pre-training like BLEURT; Sellam et al. 2020), we are not aware of any studies attempting to explain why we see such a poor correlation between human judges and automatic metrics. This paper aims to explore this hypothesis, focusing on the evaluation of automatic image description systems. We focus on image descriptions because it is relatively easy for humans to judge whether a given description correctly describes an image. Compare this to the WebNLG data (Gardent et al., 2017) , where participants would have to judge whether a given sentence verbalizes a set of triples containing information about properties of different entities, and how different entities relate to each other. The format of the input data, as well as the numerous ways to verbalise each triple separately, and express them jointly, perhaps through some process of aggregation, is bound to make the judgment more challenging.",

An interesting property of the flawed descriptions generated by Shekhar et al. (2017) is that their manipulations are associated with different semantic categories (ANIMAL, VEHICLE, FURNITURE, . . . ). This enables them to pinpoint which kinds of entities are easier or harder for systems to describe. Anderson et al. (2016) propose the SPICE-metric, which differs from other evaluation metrics in that it uses the reference descriptions to build an abstract scene graph. The hypothesis is also parsed into an abstract scene graph, and compared to the reference graph. These graphs can be represented as tuples that correspond to different features, namely: OBJECT, RELATION, and ATTRIBUTE (which is subdivided into COLOR, COUNT and SIZE). We can use SPICE to identify different kinds of propositions that are communicated by an image description. For example, according to SPICE, sentence (3) conveys five propositions: 1. there are eggs (OBJECT); 2. there are three of them (ATTRIBUTE: NUMBER); 3. there is a basket (OBJECT); 4. the basket is green (ATTRIBUTE: COLOR); 5. the eggs are in the basket (RELATION).",

Our hypotheses provided a first attempt at an explanation, although it is clear that more work is needed to develop a better understanding of why these differences in severity arise. For example, we severely underestimated the severity of color errors. In hindsight, we believe that the severity may be related to the fact that color is a prominent feature, and the blatant color errors in our experiment were perceivable at a glance. Our (revised) intuition is that, similar to visual attention, error severity may be determined both by bottom-up and top-down factors (Itti and Koch, 2000; Borji and Itti, 2013) . Some errors (like our color errors) are easily perceived, and may thus elicit strong responses.

"text": "This paper provides a conceptual argument against the use of superficial metrics like BLEU, that only look at textual similarity. In our experiments, erroneous descriptions differ by only one character, so the edit distance is always the same. Differences in perceived severity of different error types thus cannot be explained by these kinds of metrics. A separate weakness of BLEU is that an image may be described by many different descriptions; with a finite amount of references, BLEU may penalise descriptions that provide yet another perspective on the same image. Our results show that BLEU and similar metrics are insufficient even with an infinite amount of different (but correct) references. For SPICE, similar limitations should apply: if the different propositions identified by SPICE are not weighted by the kind of proposition, then this uniform approach will not be able to capture differences in severity. Beyond image description, similar issues may arise in other metrics. For example, referring expression generation systems are often evaluated using DICE (Dice, 1945) . Even though this metric looks at meaning (not syntactic form), two referring expressions, RE 1 and RE 2 , can obtain the same DICE score yet RE 1 may be intuitively much better than RE 2 . The reason here is that DICE looks exclusively at the degree of overlap between the set of properties expressed in a gold standard item and the set of properties expressed by a referring expression produced by a referring expression generation algorithm.",

After all, this would probably improve the correlation between automatic measures and human judgments. But here we might ask ourselves: what is quality, really? Is it some abstract construct that we aim to approach through human ratings? Or do we want to model human responses to textual output?
