COMET-poly-base-wmt25

This model is based on COMET-poly, which is a fork but not compatible with original Unbabel's COMET. To run the model, you need to first install this version of COMET either with:

pip install "git+https://github.com/zouharvi/COMET-poly#egg=comet-poly&subdirectory=comet_poly"

or in editable mode:

git clone https://github.com/zouharvi/COMET-poly.git
cd COMET-poly
pip3 install -e comet_poly

This model scores the translation mt given its source. It is a baseline model that other COMET-poly models are compared to.

import comet_poly
model = comet_poly.load_from_checkpoint(comet_poly.download_model("zouharvi/COMET-poly-base-wmt25"))
data = [
    {
        "src": "Iceberg lettuce got its name in the 1920s when it was shipped packed in ice to stay fresh.",
        "mt": "Eisbergsalat erhielt seinen Namen in den 1920er-Jahren, als er in Eis verpackt verschickt wurde, um frisch zu bleiben.",
    },
    {
        "src": "Goats have rectangular pupils, which give them a wide field of vision—up to 320 degrees!",

    },

        "mt": "Điều này giúp chúng phát hiện kẻ săn mồi từ gần như mọi hướng mà không cần quay đầu.",
    }
]
print("scores", model.predict(data, batch_size=8, gpus=1).scores)

Outputs:

    abstract = "Automated metrics for machine translation attempt to replicate human judgment. Unlike humans, who often assess a translation in the context of multiple alternatives, these metrics typically consider only the source sentence and a single translation. This discrepancy in the evaluation setup may negatively impact the performance of automated metrics. We propose two automated metrics that incorporate additional information beyond the single translation. COMET-polycand uses alternative translations of the same source sentence to compare and contrast with the translation at hand, thereby providing a more informed assessment of its quality. COMET-polyic, inspired by retrieval-based in-context learning, takes in translations of similar source texts along with their human-labeled quality scores to guide the evaluation. We find that including a single additional translation in COMET-polycand improves the segment-level metric performance (0.079 to 0.118 Kendall{'}s tau-b correlation), with further gains when more translations are added. Incorporating retrieved examples in COMET-polyic yields similar improvements (0.079 to 0.116 Kendall{'}s tau-b correlation). We release our models publicly."
