We know that results can very widely based on language pair and data sets, but a large majority of papers report results on a single language pair, and often for a single data set. While these issues are widely known at the informal level, I think that Suzy's point is well taken. I think there would be value in published studies showing just how wide the gap due to nondeterminism can be expected to be. It may be that such studies already exist, and I'm just not aware of them. Does anyone know of any?
