WMT2014 English-French Benchmark (Machine Translation)

57 rows 54 with code listed 4 metrics Dataset page

Machine translation is the task of translating a sentence in a source language to a different target language.

Approaches for machine translation can range from rule-based to statistical to neural-based. More recently, encoder-decoder attention-based architectures like BERT have attained major improvements in machine translation.

One of the most popular datasets used to benchmark machine translation systems is the WMT family of datasets. Some of the most commonly used evaluation metrics for machine translation systems include BLEU, METEOR, NIST, and others.

The chart needs JavaScript; the table below carries every value.

Direction inferred from the metric name, not from the archive: BLEU score (higher is better). Not inferred (points only, no best-so-far line): SacreBLEU, Hardware Burden, Operations per network pass. Points are placed at the row's paper date; 56 of 57 rows carry one.

Results archive 2025-07-28

Archive rows end at the archive snapshot, 2025-07-28: no result published after that date is in this table. Rank is the archive's row order at that snapshot; not re-ranked here. Metric values are the archive's strings. Column headers sort the table in your browser; each row keeps its archive rank.

Syntology Ran reads "N of M ran · U unverified": of the M code samples Syntology harvested from repositories linked to that row's paper (joined by arXiv id), N executed on a synthesized input and the other U = M−N are unverified (harvested, no recorded run). It counts code from repositories linked to that row's paper, not this result: the row's number was not reproduced and nothing here is a correctness claim. The other cell texts mean no graph line for the row: "linked, not harvested" (the archive links code, Syntology has not harvested it), "no code linked" (no code link in the archive), "not matched" (the row's paper URL matched no paper on this site). 27 rows have a graph line, from 22 distinct papers; 24 rows (20 papers) have at least one sample that ran. Counting each paper once: Syntology ran 764 of 1,209 samples; 445 unverified. Separately, 536 of those 1,209 are pointer-only (licence): the site points at that code rather than redistributing it, a licence property recorded for ran and unverified samples alike; each cell's tooltip carries the row's own pointer-only count.
