On May 2000 there have been a Workshop on the
Evaluation of Machine Translation (see the original
CFP below). You may find what you are looking for
in the proceedings of that conference.

> A half-day workshop will be held in conjunction with the LREC Conference
in
> Athens on May 29, 2000. The theme of the workshop is Machine Translation
> Evaluation. Machine Translation is taken in the broad sense here,
referring
> to all types of tools used to aid in the translation process
(e.g.machine
> translation, translation memory systems, terminology management
systems,
> etc.).
>
> This Workshop will be the first in a series of workshops on the topic,
> that have as goals:
> - to discuss the establishment of a theory of the methodology of
evaluation
> of MT;
> - to develop a general framework in which existing evaluation measures
for
> any particular application of MT can be housed in a systematic and
> organized way;
> - to illustrate the theory and methodology, and to take further the
> previous work of EAGLES, by creating a specific framework for
evaluating
> several machine translation systems and other tools for translation.
This
> work involves not only taxonomizing pertinent aspects of the nature and
use
> of MT, but also gathering and classifying individual evaluation
measures
> in the most suitable groupings, and creating criteria for the
application of
> each measure.
>
> The results of this workshop will be a first step toward outlining a
general
> framework to guide MT evaluators, which will ultimately include a
taxonomy of
> the most important aspects pertinent to MT evaluation, evaluation
measures
> associated with each aspect, and a set of example studies. The work
begun in
> this workshop will be augmented and further elaborated in future
workshops.
>
> In addition, this workshop will be linked to the international MT System
> Certification initiative, currently being developed by the International
> Association for Machine Translation (IAMT).
>
>
> We are inviting contributions to the discussion of the themes above.
>
>
> Submission of papers
>
> Submissions should consist of an abstract of about one page, plus a title
> page providing the following information: official title of the paper;
> names and affiliations of the authors; full address of the first author
> including phone, fax, email, URL; presentation facilities required. Only
> electronic submissions in ASCII, RTF or Word format will be
> accepted.
> The submissions should be sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
