摘要：In this talk, we discuss the adequacy and fluency evaluation of natural language sentences. In particular, we study a two-dimensional automatic evaluation metric that is designed to operate at sentence level. The metric is based on the concepts of adequacy and fluency, aiming at evaluating semantic and syntactic content of a sentence individually and in combination. The evaluation metric provides a balanced view on the quality of a sentence regarding a reference. We will investigate the use of adequacy and fluency metric in machine translation evaluation, and dialogue system evaluation.
