In LTAG, each word anchors elementary trees that encode its local syntactic and predicate-argument constraints. The system chains several components: 2. **[Evaluation of Machine Translation Errors in English and Iraqi Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/condon-2010-evaluation-machine-translation-errors-english/)** *(2010 · 22 citations)* The paper tackles a gap in machine translation evaluation. Human ratings and automatic scores say how good a translation is, but not what went wrong. MITRE linguists analyzed errors from 4 English–Iraqi Arabic speech translation systems built for DARPA's TRANSTAC program, at two evaluations in 2008. They used text… 3. **[Normalization for Automated Metrics: English and Arabic Speech Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/condon-2009-normalization-automated-metrics-english-arabic/)** *(2009 · 11 citations)* In the DARPA TRANSTAC speech translation evaluations, automated metrics such as BLEU, TER and METEOR tracked bilingual human judgments well for output in English but poorly for output in Iraqi Arabic. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[XTAG System - A Wide Coverage Grammar for English](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/doran-1994-xtag-system-wide-coverage-grammar/) [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/)**Christy Doran, Dania Egedi, Beth Ann Hockey, et al.*1994 · 46 citations* 2. **[Evaluation of Machine Translation Errors in English and Iraqi Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/condon-2010-evaluation-machine-translation-errors-english/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Sherri Condon, Dan Parvaz, John Aberdeen, et al.*2010 · 22 citations* 3. **[Applying Automated Metrics to Speech Translation Dialogs ↗](https://aclanthology.org/L08-1143/) Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'08) · no summary yet**Sherri Condon et al.*2008 · 14 citations* 4. **[Normalization for Automated Metrics: English and Arabic Speech Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/condon-2009-normalization-automated-metrics-english-arabic/) [Machine Translation Summit (MT Summit)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mtsummit/)**Sherri Condon, Gregory A.
