Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) is a popular metric for machine translation evaluation. It computes an n-gram based precision for the candidate sentence with respect to the references. Intelligibility or grammatical correctness are not taken into account. BLEU computes the geometric mean of the n-gram precisions and adds a brevity penalty (penalizes system results that are shorter than the general length of a reference) to discourage overly short sentences. The range of BLEU is always between zero and one. A number closer to one indicates that the candidate text is more similar to the reference texts.
