Evaluating natural language systems
Walter Read, Alex Quilici, John Reeves, Michael G. Dyer, Eva L. Baker · 1988
This paper reports progress in development of evaluation methodologies for natural language systems. Without a common classification of the problems in natural language understanding authors have no way to specify clearly what their systems do, potential users have no way to compare different systems and researchers have no way to judge the advantages or disadvantages of different approaches to developing systems.
