# Neural Machine Translation Quality and Post-Editing Performance

This is a repository for an experiment relating NMT quality and post-editing efforts, presented at EMNLP2021 ([presentation recording](https://youtu.be/rCuoUbmJ5Uk)).
Please cite the following [paper](https://aclanthology.org/2021.emnlp-main.801/) when you use this research:

  pages={10204--10214},
  year={2021},

}
```

You can [access the data on huggingface](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zouharvi/nmt-pe-effects):
```python3
from datasets import load_dataset
data_p1 = load_dataset("zouharvi/nmt-pe-effects", "phase_1")
data_p2 = load_dataset("zouharvi/nmt-pe-effects", "phase_2")
```

The first phase is the main one where we can see the effect of NMT quality on post-editing time.
The second phase is to estimate the quality of the first post-editing round.

The [code is also public](https://github.com/ufal/nmt-pe-effects-2021).
