N2 - This paper describes the latest version of the ATEC metric for automatic MT evaluation, with parameters optimized for word choice and word order, the two fundamental features of language that the metric relies on. The former is assessed by matching at various linguistic levels and weighting the informativeness of both matched and unmatched words. The latter is quantified in term of word position and information flow. We also discuss those aspects of language not yet covered by other existing evaluation metrics but carefully considered in the formulation of our metric.
