I'm sorry for not responding sooner, because there clearly exist confusion
regarding the required conditions for the TDT3 tasks. The required source
conditions are newswire text and the TDT3-supplied automatic transcription
of the audio. There is no requirement to use any MTed version of either a
manual or an ASR transcription.
I believe that this should completely relieve your concern regarding the
evaluation. No need for a suit of armor.
