>Word-level quality estimation (QE) detects erroneous spans in machine translations, which can direct and facilitate human post-editing. While the accuracy of word-level QE systems has been assessed extensively, their usability and downstream influence on the speed, quality and editing choices of human post-editing remain understudied. Our QE4PE study investigates the impact of word-level QE on machine translation (MT) post-editing in a realistic setting involving 42 professional post-editors across two translation directions. We compare four error-span highlight modalities, including supervised and uncertainty-based word-level QE methods, for identifying potential errors in the outputs of a state-of-the-art neural MT model. Post-editing effort and productivity are estimated by behavioral logs, while quality improvements are assessed by word- and segment-level human annotation. We find that domain, language and editors' speed are critical factors in determining highlights' effectiveness, with modest differences between human-made and automated QE highlights underlining a gap between accuracy and usability in professional workflows.
### Dataset Summary
This dataset provides a convenient access to the processed `pretask`, `main` and `posttask` splits and the questionnaires for the QE4PE study. A sample of challenging documents extracted from WMT23 evaluation data were machine translated from English to Italian and Dutch using [NLLB 3.3B](https://huggingface.co/facebook/nllb-200-3.3B), and post-edited by 12 translators per direction across 4 highlighting modalities employing various word-level quality estimation (QE) strategies to present translators with potential errors during the editing. Additional details are provided in the [main task readme](./task/main/README.md) and in our paper. During the post-editing, behavioral data (keystrokes, pauses and editing times) were collected using the [GroTE](https://github.com/gsarti/grote) online platform. For the main task, a subset of the data was annotated with Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) by professional annotators.
We publicly release the granular editing logs alongside the processed dataset to foster new research on the usability of word-level QE strategies in modern post-editing workflows.

### Languages
The language data of QE4PE is in English (BCP-47 `en`), Italian (BCP-47 `it`) and Dutch (BCP-47 `nl`).
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
The dataset contains two configurations, corresponding to the two tasks: `pretask`, `main` and `posttask`. `main` contains the full data collected during the main task and analyzed during our experiments. `pretask` contains the data collected in the initial verification phase before the main task, in which all translators worked on texts highlighted in the `supervised` modality. `posttask` contains the data collected in the final phase in which all translators worked on texts in the `no_highlight` modality.
### Data Fields

### Data Splits
|`config` | `split`| |
|------------------------------------:|-------:|--------------------------------------------------------------:|
|`main` | `train`| 8100 (51 docs i.e. 324 sents x 25 translators) |
|`pretask` | `train`| 950 (6 docs i.e. 38 sents x 25 translators) |
|`posttask` | `train`| 1200 (8 docs i.e. 50 sents x 24 translators) |
|`pretask_questionnaire` | `train`| 26 (all translators, including replaced/replacements) |
|`posttask_highlight_questionnaire` | `train`| 19 (all translators for highlight modalities + 1 replacement) |
|`posttask_no_highlight_questionnaire`| `train`| 6 (all translators for `no_highlight` modality) |
#### Train Split
The `train` split contains the totality of triplets (or pairs, when translation from scratch is performed) annotated with behavioral data produced during the translation.
The following is an example of the subject `oracle_t1` post-editing for segment `3` of `doc20` in the `eng-nld` direction of the `main` task. The fields `mt_pe_word_aligned` and `mt_pe_char_aligned` are shown over three lines to provide a visual understanding of their contents.

### Dataset Creation
The datasets were parsed from GroTE inputs, logs and outputs for the QE4PE study, available in this repository. Processed dataframes using the `qe4pe process_task_data` command. Refer to the [QE4PE Github repository](https://github.com/gsarti/qe4pe) for additional details. The overall structure and processing of the dataset were inspired by the [DivEMT dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GroNLP/divemt).
### QA Annotations
MQM annotations were collected using Google Sheets and highlights were parsed from HTML exported output, ensuring their compliance with well-formedness checks. Out of the original 51 docs (324 segments) in `main`, 24 docs (10 biomedical, 14 social, totaling 148 segments) were samples at random and annotated by professional translators.
## Additional Information
### Metric signatures
