A Review of Human Evaluation for Style Transfer

Abstract

This paper reviews and summarizes human evaluation practices described in $97$ style transfer papers with respect to three main evaluation aspects: style transfer, meaning preservation, and fluency. In principle, evaluations by human raters should be the most reliable. However, we find that, in style transfer papers, protocols for human evaluations are often underspecified and not standardized, which hampers the reproducibility of research in this field and progress toward better human and automatic evaluation methods.
