Evaluating English-Korean Literary Machine Translations: A Dataset Featuring the RULER and VERSE Annotation Methods

Abstract:This dataset offers a novel, high-resolution resource for evaluating English-to-Korean machine translations of literary texts. It is uniquely positioned to support a wide range of research and development efforts across machine translation, evaluation methodology, literary studies, and human-AI interaction. By combining two original annotation schemes developed by our team—RULER and VERSE—with paragraph-level alignment the dataset provides multiple points of entry for both computational and humanities-based inquiry.
