There is work published on making mert more stable (on the train so can't
easily dig it up)

We know that there is nondeterminism during optimization, yet virtually all
papers report results based on a single MERT run. 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?
Cheers,
