Is Human Annotation Necessary? Iterative MBR Distillation for Error Span Detection in Machine Translation arXiv:2603.12983v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Error Span Detection (ESD) is a crucial subtask in Machine Translation (MT) evaluation, aiming to identify the location and severity of translation errors. While fine-tuning models on human-annotated data improves ESD performance, acquiring such data is expensive and prone to inconsistencies among annotators. To address this, we propose a
