Hi all,

I have tried using this evaluator that Matous is talking about.
The problem is that there is a difference of 0.5-1 BLEU points difference in
the value given by the evaluator script and the regular mteval-v13.plscript.
Certainly not a case of precision error!

I am evaluating the tokenized lowercase outputs and reference translations,
and the difference was observed for more than 15-20 experiments. So not a
case of random error either.

Any suggestions about what I could possibly doing wrong?
