Printed | Page 148(BLEU) 6th paragraph |
In Chapter 6(summarization) the author starts to explain about text evaluation metrics, where he gave a brief introduction about BLEU score, it states that "BLEU is a precision-based metric, which means that when we compare the two texts we count the number of words in the generation that occur in the reference and divide it by the length of the reference". |

The instruction is: "Press Ctrl plus Shift plus right arrow to select..." When I did this the display on the screen rotated so that the bottom of the display jumped to the left side of the screenputting the display on it's side. Doing it with the other arrow put it on the other side of the screen, doing it with the up arrow put the bottom of the display on the top of the screen upside down. It wouldn't move from there. After re-booting the machine several times I was finally able to get it back where it needed to be. If need be, you can contact me at (801) 201-5441. |

I'm on the top of page 201 trying to figure out the Table of Contents. It says to create a manual TOC, go to page 81. I go to page 81 and it's about headers and footers, which has nothing to do with TOC. Is this an error? |

I noticed that some already submitted this as an error i.e, upper-right v upper-left, but if you look at page 480 & 481 the two graphics of the help screen show the button in the upper-left. |

Under "Mirror margins," you state: "This setting makes outside and inside margins identical." This is either meaningless or misleading. Please replace that sentence with something like: "This setting lets you set up independent widths for outside and inside margins." |

The info about Right tab is somewhat confusing. Saying that the text "flows backwards" and "from right to left" makes me believe that it suddenly converts the text to Hebrew! You might say "The text you input extends to the left from the tab stop, leaving the last letter aligned with the tab." |
