Every translation is done by a single human... I would assume they used professional translators, otherwise it's not a fair comparison.

To honest it works better than I thought for French > English, but I when I tried some random French websites (not news) the results were not as good as this example and nowhere near human translations.

No, the "perfect score" is an "averaged" translation by multiple humans, measured by BLEU score.


No, they asked humans to rate translation quality from 0 to 6. See section 8.2 of the paper.


Oh, you are right, sorry. I'm confusing it with a different paper.
