Pterodactyl system advances automated translation evaluation using LLM-as-a-judge

Researchers have developed Pterodactyl, a novel system for automated translation evaluation, designed for the WMT26 shared task. This system focuses on segment-level quality score prediction and identifying error-free segments, utilizing an LLM-as-a-judge approach. Pterodactyl is optimized for binary classification in translation triage and data curation, with its prompt engineering and model selection informed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

    Pterodactyl: Pushing the Limits of Efficient Automated Translation Evaluation

    arXiv:2611.14480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we present 1020 Group's submission to the WMT26 shared task on automated quality evaluation. Our system, Pterodactyl, was engineered specifically for subtasks 2 and 3, that is, segment-level quality score prediction a…
