Download or read book Evaluation of Text Summaries Based on Linear Optimization of Content Metrics written by Jonathan Rojas-Simon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive discussion and new insights about linear optimization of content metrics to improve the automatic Evaluation of Text Summaries (ETS). The reader is first introduced to the background and fundamentals of the ETS. Afterward, state-of-the-art evaluation methods that require or do not require human references are described. Based on how linear optimization has improved other natural language processing tasks, we developed a new methodology based on genetic algorithms that optimize content metrics linearly. Under this optimization, we propose SECO-SEVA as an automatic evaluation metric available for research purposes. Finally, the text finishes with a consideration of directions in which automatic evaluation could be improved in the future. The information provided in this book is self-contained. Therefore, the reader does not require an exhaustive background in this area. Moreover, we consider this book the first one that deals with the ETS in depth.

Download or read book The Use of Online Surveys in Evaluation written by Lois A. Ritter and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2007-10-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid development and diffusion of computer technology in daily life has created a wealth of problems and possibilities for researchers. E-mail and the Internet enjoy everyday use by many people, and this fact is altering how evaluations are conducted. Evaluators in a variety of academic and applied settings are using online surveys for evaluation or are contemplating using Web-based data collection strategies in the near future. Public health professionals use surveys to evaluate services and courses, businesses and marketing teams use them to evaluate quality of service and the effectiveness of advertisements, educators assess program outcomes, and those who oversee clinical trials in biotechnology and pharmacology use them to test the outcomes of intervention. These are just a few of the many ways in which online surveys are used in evaluation. Although some fundamental survey research principles can be applied to online surveys, the unique features of the method require special consideration. This volume is a useful guide for anyone wishing to use online surveys for evaluation. The chapters address how online surveys can be integrated into the planning, data collection, and data management phases of an evaluation and how they can be incorporated into numerous typs of evaluation projects, such as needs assessment and impact evaluation. This is the 115th volume of the quarterly report series New Directions for Evaluation, a publication of Jossey-Bass and the American Evaluation Association.
Download or read book Human Evaluation and Statistical Analyses on Machine Reading Comprehension Question Generation and Open domain Dialogue written by Tianbo Ji and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation is a critical element in the development process of many natural language based systems. In this thesis, we will present critical analyses of standard evaluation methodologies applied in the following Natural Language Processing (NLP) domains: machine reading comprehension (MRC), question generation (QG), and open-domain dialogue. Generally speaking, systems from tasks like MRC are usually evaluated by comparing the similarity between hand-crafted references and system generated outputs using automatic evaluation metrics, thus these metrics are mainly borrowed from other NLP tasks that have been well-developed, such as machine translation and text summarization. Meanwhile, the evaluation of QG and dialogues is even a known open problem as such tasks do not have the corresponding references for computing the similarity, and human evaluation is indispensable when assessing the performance of the systems from these tasks. However, human evaluation is unfortunately not always valid because: i) human evaluation may cost too much and be hard to deploy when experts are involved; ii) human assessors can lack reliability in the crowd-sourcing environment. To overcome the challenges from both automatic metrics and human evaluation, we first design specific crowdsourcing human evaluation methods for these three target tasks, respectively. We then show that these human evaluation methods are reproducible, highly reliable, easy to deploy, and cost-effective. Additionally, with the data collected from our experiments, we measure the accuracy of existing automatic metrics and analyse the potential limitations and disadvantages of the direct application of these metrics. Furthermore, in allusion to the specific features of different tasks, we provide detailed statistical analyses on the collected data to discover their underlying trends, and further give suggestions about the directions to improving systems on different aspects.
