Dear Xavier,

I still have a paper copy of the Van Slype Study in English and French. So,
if you are interested, please let me have your postal address I'll send you
a photo copy then.
Regards.

>> Call for papers
>>
>>  Workshop on the Evaluation of Machine Translation
>>
>>  to be held in Athens, Greece, on May 29, 2000
>>  in conjunction with the LREC 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;

>>  including phone, fax, email, URL; presentation facilities 
>required.  Only
>>  electronic submissions in ASCII, RTF or Word format will be
