We therefore use a slightly different score for our RL experiments which we call the 'GLEU score'. For the GLEU score, we record all sub-sequences of 1, 2, 3 or 4 tokens in output and target sequence (n-grams). We then compute a recall, which is the ratio of the number of matching n-grams to the number of total n-grams in the target (ground truth) sequence, and a precision, which is the ratio of the number of matching n-grams to the number of total n-grams in the generated output sequence. Then GLEU score is simply the minimum of recall and precision. This GLEU score's range is always between 0 (no matches) and 1 (all match) and it is symmetrical when switching output and target. According to our experiments, GLEU score correlates quite well with the BLEU metric on a corpus level but does not have its drawbacks for our per sentence reward objective. """ _KWARGS_DESCRIPTION = """\ Computes corpus-level Google BLEU (GLEU) score of translated segments against one or more references. Instead of averaging the sentence level GLEU scores (i.e. macro-average precision), Wu et al. (2016) sum up the matching tokens and the max of hypothesis and reference tokens for each sentence, then compute using the aggregate values. Args: predictions (list of str): list of translations to score. references (list of list of str): list of lists of references for each translation. tokenizer : approach used for tokenizing `predictions` and `references`. The default tokenizer is `tokenizer_13a`, a minimal tokenization approach that is equivalent to `mteval-v13a`, used by WMT. This can be replaced by any function that takes a string as input and returns a list of tokens as output. min_len (int): The minimum order of n-gram this function should extract. Defaults to 1. max_len (int): The maximum order of n-gram this function should extract. Defaults to 4.
