1. NIST

   NIST is a method for evaluating the quality of text which has been translated using machine translation. Its name comes from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. It is based on the BLEU metric, but with some alterations. Where BLEU simply calculates n-gram precision adding equal weight to each one, NIST also calculates how informative a particular n-gram is. That is to say when a correct n-gram is found, the rarer that n-gram is, the more weight it will be given. For example, if the bigram "on the" is correctly matched, it will receive lower weight than the correct matching of bigram "interesting calculations", as this is less likely to occur. NIST also differs from BLEU in its calculation of the brevity penalty insofar as small variations in translation length do not impact the overall score as much.

Examples of NIST in a Sentence

1. Dan Recht:

   ( Fox News) What keeps the government from overreaching ? what keeps them from going the next step ? And it really is only another step or two, to a national ID where they know everything about you. One of the very first tenets is no national ID, Grassi said of the work NIST is doing. And the mobile driver's license would be no different. Each individual state will still be in control of driver's license information, as they are now, he said. Diane Johanssen manages the driver's license office in Lakewood, Colorado, which took part in field testing Gemalto's product. Everyone wants it right now and I think that the digital license is the wave of the future, personally and professionally, Diane Johanssen said. Diane Johanssen said one of the biggest advantages to going digital would be the ability to update license information remotely. It would basically keep them out of the office, and for all those people with special needs, that are in nursing homes that have an issue to just get to a driver's license office.
