Evaluation of Machine Translation Quality Estimation performance on the WMT News 2020 test set, typically measured using correlation metrics like Kendall's tau and Pearson's r.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Machine Translation Quality Estimation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | WMT News 2020 (test) |
| Metric | Kendall's tau |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 18 of 18 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Kendall's tau](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-translation-quality-estimation-on-wmt-news-2020-test.md?metric=Kendall%27s%20tau>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Pearson's r](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-translation-quality-estimation-on-wmt-news-2020-test.md?metric=Pearson%27s%20r>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Hit Rate@1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-translation-quality-estimation-on-wmt-news-2020-test.md?metric=Hit%20Rate%401>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Average Rank](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-translation-quality-estimation-on-wmt-news-2020-test.md?metric=Average%20Rank>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Hit@2](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/machine-translation-quality-estimation-on-wmt-news-2020-test.md?metric=Hit%402>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
