Blue scores are not commensurate even between different corpora in the same translation direction. Bleu is really only comparable for different systems or system variants on the exact same data.
In the case of the same corpus in two directions, an imperfect analogy might be gas mileage between two different cities. No matter how consistently you drove, you wouldn't expect the exact same gasoline usage driving from city A to city B as in the other direction, (especially if one direction is more uphill than the other). - John Burger MITRE On Dec 2, 2013, at 10:32 , Kalyani Baruah wrote: > Hii.. > Why is there a difference of bleu score when i take a parallel corpus of > English to Bangla than the same parallel corpus Bangla to English > translation.. why both blue score are not the same.. > > Regards, > > > Kalyanee Kanchan Baruah > Department of Information Technology, > Institute of Science and Technology, > Gauhati University,Guwahati,India > Phone- +91-9706242124 > _______________________________________________ > Moses-support mailing list > Moses-support@mit.edu > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list Moses-support@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
