QE4PE Questionnaires

This folder contains the configurations and results of pre- and post-task questionnaires used in the QE4PE project. Questionnaires were created using the Qualtrics platform. For every questionnaire, the following files are available:

{{QUESTIONNAIRE_ID}}_config.json: the configuration file mapping output columns to questions and available options.
{{QUESTIONNAIRE_ID}}_results.csv: contains the answers collected from the participants. The file contains preprocessed entries to facilitate further analyses on the results. Answer values are mapped to the original questions and options using the configuration file.

Pre-task Questionnaire

The pretask questionnaire was administered to translators before the pretask to ensure their proficiency with post-editing MT and other computer-assisted translation tools, and collect their opinions regarding post-editing before the task.

Post-task Questionnaires

After the main task, translators were asked to complete the posttask questionnaire. This questionnaire aimed to collect feedback on the post-editing task, the MT system, the interface and the highlighting.

Two versions of the posttask questionnaire were used: one named posttask_highlight for translator editing highlighted segments in the main task (for oracle, supervised and unsupervised modalities), and one named posttask_no_highlight for the no_highlight modality. The only differences between the two versions are the presence of several questions related to the highlighting feature (highlight_statement 1 to 8 in posttask_highlight_config.json), which were replaced by a smaller subset of speculative questions (highlight_statement 1 to 3 in posttask_no_highlight_config.json) for the no-highlight setting, and the formulation of open-ended highlight questions (highlight_like and highlight_dislike in both configurations).
