Any explanation for such a case? Yes. Automated evaluation is pretty limited - each tool will use its own set of algortihms and heuristics and therefore probably not even test exactly the same things, let alone get the same results. You should do a manual evaluation yourself as part of the research paper, which will give you more insight into the particular issues that have arisen with the two automatic evaluations. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.comReceived on Monday, 4 October 2010 10:13:34 GMT
