If there is no ngrams overlap for any order of n-grams, BLEU returns the
value 0. This is because the precision for the order of n-grams without
overlap is 0, and the geometric mean in the final BLEU score computation
multiplies the 0 with the precision of other n-grams. This results in 0
(independently of the precision of the othe n-gram orders). The following
example has zero 3-gram and 4-gram overlaps:
>>> round(sentence_bleu([reference1, reference2, reference3], hypothesis2),4) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
0.0
To avoid this harsh behaviour when no ngram overlaps are found a smoothing
function can be used.
>>> chencherry = SmoothingFunction()
>>> sentence_bleu([reference1, reference2, reference3], hypothesis2,
... smoothing_function=chencherry.method1) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
0.0370...
The default BLEU calculates a score for up to 4-grams using uniform
weights (this is called BLEU-4). To evaluate your translations with
higher/lower order ngrams, use customized weights. E.g. when accounting
for up to 5-grams with uniform weights (this is called BLEU-5) use:
>>> weights = (1./5., 1./5., 1./5., 1./5., 1./5.)
>>> sentence_bleu([reference1, reference2, reference3], hypothesis1, weights) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS

Calculate a single corpus-level BLEU score (aka. system-level BLEU) for all
the hypotheses and their respective references.
Instead of averaging the sentence level BLEU scores (i.e. marco-average
precision), the original BLEU metric (Papineni et al. 2002) accounts for
the micro-average precision (i.e. summing the numerators and denominators
for each hypothesis-reference(s) pairs before the division).

Calculate brevity penalty.
As the modified n-gram precision still has the problem from the short
length sentence, brevity penalty is used to modify the overall BLEU
score according to length.
An example from the paper. There are three references with length 12, 15
and 17. And a concise hypothesis of the length 12. The brevity penalty is 1.
>>> reference1 = list('aaaaaaaaaaaa') # i.e. ['a'] * 12
>>> reference2 = list('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa') # i.e. ['a'] * 15
>>> reference3 = list('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa') # i.e. ['a'] * 17
>>> hypothesis = list('aaaaaaaaaaaa') # i.e. ['a'] * 12
>>> references = [reference1, reference2, reference3]
>>> hyp_len = len(hypothesis)
>>> closest_ref_len = closest_ref_length(references, hyp_len)
>>> brevity_penalty(closest_ref_len, hyp_len)
1.0
In case a hypothesis translation is shorter than the references, penalty is
applied.
>>> references = [['a'] * 28, ['a'] * 28]
>>> hypothesis = ['a'] * 12
>>> hyp_len = len(hypothesis)
>>> closest_ref_len = closest_ref_length(references, hyp_len)
>>> brevity_penalty(closest_ref_len, hyp_len)
0.2635971381157267
The length of the closest reference is used to compute the penalty. If the
length of a hypothesis is 12, and the reference lengths are 13 and 2, the
penalty is applied because the hypothesis length (12) is less then the
closest reference length (13).
>>> references = [['a'] * 13, ['a'] * 2]
>>> hypothesis = ['a'] * 12
>>> hyp_len = len(hypothesis)
>>> closest_ref_len = closest_ref_length(references, hyp_len)
>>> brevity_penalty(closest_ref_len, hyp_len) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
0.9200...
The brevity penalty doesn't depend on reference order. More importantly,
when two reference sentences are at the same distance, the shortest
reference sentence length is used.
>>> references = [['a'] * 13, ['a'] * 11]
>>> hypothesis = ['a'] * 12
>>> hyp_len = len(hypothesis)
>>> closest_ref_len = closest_ref_length(references, hyp_len)
