Automatic evaluation in Machine Translation: 
Towards combined linguistically-motivated measures

Automatic evaluation plays a very important role in the development
and comparison of machine translation systems.  In this talk we will
overview the current trend of using linguistically-guided evaluation
measures based on several linguistic layers and their combination. 
Also, we will talk about confidence estimation measures, a particular
subset of measures to assess output quality without the need of
reference translations. Finally, we will overview the role of
evaluation measures within the FAUST European project (Feedback
Analysis for User Adaptive Statistical Translation; 
http://www.faust-fp7.eu/), focusing on the usage of user feedback to
guide the combination of measures.
