Open Machine Translation Evaluation
Open Machine Translation Evaluation (OpenMT)
The objective of the NIST Open Machine Translation (OpenMT) evaluation series is to support research in, and help advance the state of the art of, machine translation (MT) technologies - technologies that translate text between human languages. Input may include all forms of text. The goal is for the output to be an adequate and fluent translation of the original.
The MT evaluation series started in 2001 as part of the DARPA TIDES program. In their current form, the evaluations are driven and coordinated by NIST as NIST OpenMT. They provide an important contribution to the direction of research efforts and the calibration of technical capabilities in MT. The OpenMT evaluations are intended to be of interest to all researchers working on the general problem of automatic translation between human languages. To this end, they are designed to be simple, to focus on core technology issues, to be fully supported, and to be accessible to all those wishing to participate.
Results of past NIST OpenMT and DARPA TIDES MT evaluations as well as resources specific to each evaluation can be accessed via the year-specific links at the bottom.
.The most recent regular OpenMT evaluation was OpenMT12. In 2015, OpenMT introduced a new OpenMT Challenge; the OpenMT15 Challenge was the latest OpenMT evaluation.
