The Machine Translation Leaderboard

Much of an instructor’s time is spent on the management and grading of homework. We present the Machine Translation Leaderboard, a platform for managing, displaying, and automatically grading homework assignments. It runs on Google App Engine, which provides hosting and user management services. Among its many features are the ability to easily define new assignments, manage submission histories, maintain a development / test set distinction, and display a leaderboard. An entirely new class can be set up in minutes with minimal configuration. It comes pre-packaged with five assignments used in a graduate course on machine translation.
