Abstract
SemPOS is an automatic metric of machine translation quality for Czech and English focused on content words. It correlates well with human judgments but it is computationally costly and hard to adapt to other languages because it relies on a deep-syntactic analysis of the system output and the reference.
To remedy this, we attempt at approximating SemPOS using only tagger output and a few heuristics. At a little expense in correlation to human judgments, we can evaluate MT systems much faster.
Additionally, we describe our submission to the Tunable Metrics Task in WMT11.
