Emmanuelle Esperança-Rodier - Challenges in the evaluation of machine translation

Short abstract:

In this talk, I will present the research at LIG and more specifically the one of the GETALP Team at Grenoble. We deal with Speech and Natural language translation/processing, working on Machine Translation (MT) as well as Automatic Recognition of Speech, Lexical Resources, Evaluation, and more.
I will focus my presentation on Evaluation campaigns in which we participated. I will also present the evaluation method of an in-house probabilistic MT as well as my own research field.
