Why we need new evaluation metrics for NLG

J Novikova, O Dušek, AC Curry, V Rieser - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
The majority of NLG evaluation relies on automatic metrics, such as BLEU. In this paper, we
motivate the need for novel, system-and data-independent automatic evaluation methods …
