    Dear Bruno,

    A lot of people feel very sceptical about the PARSEVAL metric. You
    might be interested in my web page www.grsampson.net/RLeafAnc.html,
    which has links to an article two of us wrote arguing and demonstrating
    experimentally that a quite different way of evaluating parsers gives
    more reasonable results, and also to software implementing our
    evaluation metric.

    Regards,

    Geoffrey Sampson
