  1. Applying Machine Translation Metrics to Student-Written Translations Lisa N. MichaudComputer Science DepartmentMerrimack CollegeNorth Andover, Massachusetts, USA Patricia Ann McCoyLanguage DepartmentUniversidad de las AmericasPueblaPuebla, Mexico

  2. Criteria for judging translations fluency(is it well-formed?) fidelity (does it convey original meaning?) (Hovy et al., 2002) Michaud and McCoy

  3. Multiplicity of translations • In each one of these jobs the professor could have agreed to work 6 hours a day and therefore would not be surpassing the working day hour limit. • In each one of these jobs the teacher could have agreed to work 6 hours per day and therefore he wouldn't be bound by the limits of the working day. • In each of these examples the teaching could have been arranged so that he/she works six hours a day and would not be affected by any workday limitations. • In both of these jobs the professor could have agreed to work six hours daily and therefore he wouldn't be affecting his work shift limit. Michaud and McCoy
