Abstract

In this paper, the author presents a detailed description of the methodology he used in 1979-80 when conducting an evaluation of the SYSTRAN Russian to English MT system for the US Air Force. After explaining the rationale behind the test and enumerating his evaluation criteria, he gives a full account of the implementation procedures and follows this with an analysis and discussion of the results obtained.
