Comparison of temporal, technical and cognitive dimension measurements for post-editing effort

摘要

This work aims to take a step towards understanding the relationship between the different dimensions of the post-editing effort. Specifically, we perform a preliminary experiment where temporal, technical and cognitive effort measurements are collected for six error types using mainstream tools. Results seem to indicate that when considered in isolation, errors do not pose significant differences in effort within each dimension. We also find that measurements of different tools do not always correlate.
