Abstract :
Evaluation plays a crucial role in the field of machine translation. The aim of our research was to assess the quality - reliability and validity - of automatic evaluation of machine translation, and in our case an on-line statistical machine translation system was used. The results of the reliability analysis showed that the chosen metrics of automatic evaluation are reliable and valid, whereby the validity and reliability were verified for the following language pairs: Slovak-English and Slovak-German.
