Machine Translation Quality and Production Process Evaluation.
Abstract
Machine translations of Russian scientific-technical literature and the production systems/techniques are analyzed and assessed. In connection with these purposes, the nature and outcome of efforts in several key translation evaluation and production problem areas are described. These efforts include: An experimental comparison of machine and human translations' comprehensibility; Development and pilot test of a set of scales for assessing translation quality; Development of a procedure for partitioning and classifying textural content as an aid to quality assessment; Analyses of translation production flow, as well as the requirements for translation quality control and use-directed partial translations.
