We discuss our evaluation approach and address certain issues and implications relevant to our findings. We represented a variety of potential users of MT systems and were faced with the task of identifying which systems would best help them solve their translation problems.}, author = {Jordan,P.W. and Dorr, Bonnie J and Benoit,J.W.} }
