This paper reports results of the 1992 Evaluation of machine translation (MT) systems in the DARPA MT initiative and results of a Pre-test to the 1993 Evaluation. The DARPA initiative is unique in that the evaluated systems differ radically in languages translated, theoretical approach to system design, and intended end-user application. In the 1992 suite, a Comprehension Test compared the accuracy and interpretability of system and control outputs; a Quality Panel for each language pair judged the fidelity of translations from each source version. The 1993 suite evaluated adequacy and fluency and investigated three scoring methods.
White et al. (1993) studied this question.
