Very short sentences will give you high scores. Also multiple references will boost them Miles On Apr 26, 2012 8:13 PM, "John D Burger" wrote: > I =think= I recall that pairwise BLEU scores for human translators are > usually around 0.50, so anything much better than that is indeed suspect. > >

Hi Daniel BLEU scores do vary according to test set, but the scores you report are much higher than usual. The most likely thing is that you have some of your test set included in your training set, cheers - Barry On Thursday 26 April 2012 19:18:33 Daniel Schaut wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm runn
