*Evaluation Packages from Technolangue*

/ELRA today announced the publication of six Evaluation Packages in its catalogue./

These Evaluation Packages were produced within the French national research programme Technolangue funded by the French Ministry of Research and New Technologies (MRNT). Each package includes the material that was used and/or produced for each evaluation campaign: resources, protocols, scoring tools, results of the campaign, etc. The aim of these evaluation packages is to enable external players to evaluate their own system and compare their results against those obtained during the evaluation campaigns.
