BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) is an algorithm for evaluating the quality of text which has been machine-translated from one natural language to another. Quality is considered to be the correspondence between a machine's output and that of a human: "the closer a machine translation is to a professional human translation, the better it is" – this is the central idea behind BLEU. BLEU was one of the first metrics to achieve a high correlation with human judgements of quality, and remains one of the most popular automated and inexpensive metric. -- 维基百科
bleu是一种文本评估算法,它是用来评估机器翻译跟专业人工翻译之间的对应关系,核心思想就是机器翻译越接近专业人工翻译,质量就越好,经过bleu算法得出的分数可以作为机器翻译质量的其中一个指标。使用bleu的目的是给出一个快且不差的自动评估解决方案,评估的是机器翻译与人翻译的接近程度。
