Compute the BLEU using pretrained T5-small
I am investigating a translation problem from en to de.I use the t5-small model and try to check the bleu score on the dataset:[newstest2014.en,newstest2014.de]from:The Stanford Natural Language Processing GroupI get a very low bleu score which is under 10.And I tried some other datasets but the BLEU is still much lower than the result shown on the paper.So I think probably I did something wrong in the whole procedure.My code is below:from datasets import load_dataset, load_metric
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
import torch
import argparse

def get_data(domain):
    path = 'E:/Code/NLP/data/PRETRAIN_WMT14/json/'
    file_path = path + '{}.json'.format(domain)
    dataset = load_dataset('json', data_files=file_path)['train']
    loader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=args().batchsz)
    return loader

def compute_bleu(y_pred, y_true):
    metric = load_metric('bleu')
    metric.add_batch(predictions=y_pred, references=y_true)
    report = metric.compute()
    bleu = report['bleu'] * 100
    return bleu

def Model_Tokenizer(device):
    model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("t5-small").to(device)
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small")
    return model.to(device), tokenizer

def evaluation(loader, model, tokenizer, device):
    y_true = []
    y_pred = []
    for i, batch in enumerate(loader):

        # Prepare and tokenize the source sentences
        src_sentences = [prefix + line for line in batch[args().src_language]]
        encoded_input = tokenizer(src_sentences, max_length=128,
                                  padding=True, truncation=True,
                                  return_tensors='pt', add_special_tokens=True).input_ids.to(device)

        # Translate and decode the inputs
        outputs = model.generate(encoded_input, max_length=175)
        batch_pred = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)

        # Concatenate the translated and reference sentences
        for sentence in batch[args().tgt_language]:
            sentence = tokenizer.tokenize(sentence)
            # print(sentence)
            y_true.append([sentence])
        for sentence in batch_pred:
            sentence = tokenizer.tokenize(sentence)
            # print(sentence)
            y_pred.append(sentence)

    bleu = compute_bleu(y_pred, y_true)
    print('Bleu Score: {:.2f}'.format(bleu))

I found one problem here!Why do the translated sentences of the T5-small model never exceed 20 tokens?!

I finally figure it out.The default .generate() function limits the output length as 20.Just set it to the length that you want.The code has been modified to the right version right now.(Because the max length of my dataset is 175.)
