Protecting the integrity of these evaluation benchmarks

This dataset derives from BOUQuET and WMT24++, both translation evaluation benchmarks. It is gated so that its contents are not picked up by web crawlers and absorbed into language-model training data. The terms below are BOUQuET's own, retained here as its licence requires. One scope note on the first term: it does not extend to datasets/smol/, which derives from SMOL rather than from a test set and is the training data for the Appendix I experiment.

Tailoring MT to Audience and Intent: data release

Data accompanying "Beyond 'To whom it may concern': Tailoring Machine Translation to Audience and Intent" (EMNLP 2026).

Contents

Paths mirror the layout the code expects, so python -m data.download in the GitHub repository places every file where the scripts look for it.

BOUQuET instruction schema: uniq_id, tgt_text (English source), domain, par_comment, tags, register, user_instruction. Every field except user_instruction comes from BOUQuET; user_instruction is drafted by Gemini-3-Flash from that metadata and then revised by a human annotator.

annotation_exports/: human and LLM-judge evaluations

human/ holds 160 rated items per language for French, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Khmer and Javanese: error spans, a 0-100 ESA translation rating, and a 0-100 adaptedness score. These are the five annotation projects reported in the paper; earlier pilot projects are not included.

llm/ holds the LLM-judge scores over the same items, produced by human_eval.match_judge, which re-judges the exported text itself rather than joining on uniq_id. The _refbased files are the reference-based judge run behind the reference-free vs reference-based comparison in §3.4.

comet/ holds XCOMET-XL scores.

Annotators are identified only by an integer annotator_id. Free-text annotator_comment fields are linguistic notes and contain no personal data.

scores/: aggregated results

The per-condition means behind every table and figure, produced by python -m analysis.aggregate. No benchmark text; these are the numbers the paper reports. See data/README.md in the GitHub repository for the column definitions.

translation_results/controlled_mt/: controlled-MT scores

Aggregate CoCoA-MT and MT-GenEval scores (Appendix K): M-Acc, coverage, commit rate, gender accuracy. No source text.
