Abstract(in English) We propose a new method for automatic evaluation method for machine translation without reference. Automatic evaluation of machine translation is generally based on the use of reference. However, when the user wants to know the quality of the translation, there is no reference in most cases. Though there is a research to estimate the quality of translation without reference ,it is difficult to use it because there is no large-scale bilingual corpus between English and Japanese. In this paper, our proposed method based on Cross-Lingual Similarity evaluates translation without bilingual corpus using word embeddngs and translation matrix.
