1. QuEst - A translation quality estimation framework (2013 · 281 citations)
   The paper presents QuEst, an open-source toolkit for machine translation quality estimation (QE), meaning predicting how good a translated segment is when no human reference is available.
2. Quantifying Social Biases in NLP: A Generalization and Empirical Comparison of Extrinsic Fairness Metrics (2021 · 131 citations)
   Many metrics have been proposed to measure social bias in NLP models, but it has been unclear how they relate and whether they capture the same thing.
3. Creation of comparable corpora for English-Urdu, Arabic, Persian (2016)
   Statistical MT needs parallel text, which is scarce for many language pairs and domains. Most earlier work on comparable corpora targeted European languages, so this paper builds news-based comparable corpora pairing English with Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Articles were collected from hand-picked RSS feeds every 15…
