Google BLEU is calculated from translations generated by the GOOGLETRANSLATE() function on google sheets.

The testing scripts and data from Tatoeba is present at https://github.com/notAI-tech/Anuvaad-testing-scripts

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tYYZObELj-k6mJCnM6uf7xg3JChbSkjs8YvZsOgHacQ/edit?usp=sharing is the sheet containing the predictions from Anuvaad and GOOGLETRANSLATE function on the Tatoeba data from which the above scores are calculated.
- Unlike classification/ sequence labelling tasks, for open-domain translation or summarization systems it is very hard to quantify the accuracy through numbers.
- This is because, most accuracy measurements actually measure the overlap of character/word n-grams between the expected output and predicted output.
- These scores definitely help when evaluating/comparing multiple models on a particular dataset, but the number don't translate well for open-domain models.
- For example, Anuvaad translates the sentence An advance is placed with the Medical Superintendents of such hospitals who then provide assistance on a case to case basis. (taken from http://data.statmt.org/pmindia/v1/parallel corpus) to ऐसे अस्पतालों के चिकित्सा अधीक्षकों के साथ एडवांस रखा जाता है, जिसके बाद मामले के आधार पर सहायता प्रदान की जाती है। where as the expected translation of the sentence from the dataset is अग्रिम धन राशि इन अस्पतालों को चिकित्सा निरीक्षकों को दी जाएगी, जो हर मामले को देखते हुए सहायता प्रदान करेंगे।.
- In the above example, Although Anuvaad's translation is correct (in the sense that translation conveys the same thing as the original sentence), the BLEU score with n=3 will be 0.
- Similarly, a model trained on the pmindia dataset will have bad score on a different dataset which uses a different style of writing, even if the translation is semantically correct.
- Our aim in building Anuvaad is to build a general purpose, open-domain translation module that can flexibly translate text from various domains.
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_TTtBEvVgemQfGbRBSZYkECMMt5r7L9-dt0FGVUbmOY/edit?usp=sharing is a sheet comparing translations from Anuvaad, ilmulti (https://github.com/jerinphilip/ilmulti) and Google Translate (=GOOGLETRANSLATE(text, "en", "language") function on google sheets) on 100 randomly selected English sentences from Tatoeba.
