# History:
#
# version 14
#    (2016-03-29 lukas.diduch@nist.gov)
#    * Fixed warning message in case seg-id is a string, by sorting in correct order using Sort::Naturally.
#
# version 13b
#    * Fixed die 'bug' in case seg->id = 0 
#
# version 13a
#    * modified the scoring functions to prevent division-by-zero errors when a system segment is empty
#        * affected methods: 'bleu_score' and 'bleu_score_smoothing'
#
# version 13
#    * Uses a XML parser to read data (only when extension is .xml)
#    * Smoothing of the segment-level BLEU scores, done by default
#        * smoothing method similar to that of bleu-1.04.pl (IBM)
#        * see comments above the 'bleu_score' method for more details on how the smoothing is computed
#        * added a '--no-smoothing' option to simulate old scripts behavior
#    * Introduction of the 'brevity-penalty' option, taking one of two values:
#        * 'closest' (default) : act as IBM BLEU (taking the closest reference translation length)
#            * in case two reference translations are at the same distance, will take the shortest one
#            * for more details regarding how the BP is computed, see comments of the 'brevity_penalty_closest' function
#        * 'shortest' : act as previous versions of the script (taking shortest reference translation length)
#    * Introduction of the 'international-tokenization' option, boolean, disabled by default
#        by default (when the option is not provided), uses 11b's tokenization function
#        when option specified, uses v12's tokenization function
#    * Introduction of a 'Metrics MATR output' flag (option '--metricsMATR')
#        when used, creates three files for both BLEU score and NIST score:
#            * BLEU-seg.scr and NIST-seg.scr: contain segment-level scores
#            * BLEU-doc.scr and NIST-doc.scr: contain document-level scores
#            * BLEU-sys.scr and NIST-sys.scr: contain system-level scores
#    * SGML parsing
#        * script will halt if source, reference and test files don't share the same setid attribute value (used for metricsMATR output)
#        * correct segment IDs extracted from the files (was previously using an array, and using the index as a segID for output)
#    * detailed output flag (-d) can now be used when running both BLEU and NIST
#
# version 12
#    * Text normalization changes:
#        * convert entity references (only the entities declared in the DTD)
#        * now uses unicode categories
#        * tokenize punctuation unless followed AND preceded by digits
#        * tokenize symbols
#    * UTF-8 handling:
#        * files are now read using utf8 mode
#    * Added the '-e' command-line option to enclose non-ASCII characters between spaces
#
# version 11b -- text normalization modified:
#    * take out the join digit line because it joins digits
#      when it shouldn't have
#      $norm_text =~ s/(\d)\s+(?=\d)/$1/g; #join digits
#
# version 11a -- corrected output of individual n-gram precision values
#
# version 11 -- bug fixes:
#    * make filehandle operate in binary mode to prevent Perl from operating
#      (by default in Red Hat 9) in UTF-8
#    * fix failure on joining digits
# version 10 -- updated output to include more details of n-gram scoring.
#    Defaults to generate both NIST and BLEU scores.  Use -b for BLEU
#    only, use -n for NIST only
#
# version 09d -- bug fix (for BLEU scoring, ngrams were fixed at 4
#    being the max, regardless what was entered on the command line.)
#
# version 09c -- bug fix (During the calculation of ngram information,
#    each ngram was being counted only once for each segment.  This has
#    been fixed so that each ngram is counted correctly in each segment.)
#
# version 09b -- text normalization modified:
#    * option flag added to preserve upper case
#    * non-ASCII characters left in place.
#
# version 09a -- text normalization modified:
#    * " and & converted to "" and &, respectively
#    * non-ASCII characters kept together (bug fix)
#
# version 09 -- modified to accommodate sgml tag and attribute
#    names revised to conform to default SGML conventions.
#
# version 08 -- modifies the NIST metric in accordance with the
#    findings on the 2001 Chinese-English dry run corpus.  Also
#    incorporates the BLEU metric as an option and supports the
#    output of ngram detail.
#
# version 07 -- in response to the MT meeting on 28 Jan 2002 at ISI
#    Keep strings of non-ASCII characters together as one word
#    (rather than splitting them into one-character words).
#    Change length penalty so that translations that are longer than
#    the average reference translation are not penalized.
#
# version 06
#    Prevent divide-by-zero when a segment has no evaluation N-grams.
#    Correct segment index for level 3 debug output.
#
# version 05
#    improve diagnostic error messages
#
# version 04
#    tag segments
#
# version 03
#    add detailed output option (intermediate document and segment scores)
#
# version 02
#    accommodation of modified sgml tags and attributes
#
# version 01
#    same as bleu version 15, but modified to provide formal score output.

# Default method used to compute the BLEU score, using smoothing.
# Note that the method used can be overridden using the '--no-smoothing' command-line argument
# The smoothing is computed by taking 1 / ( 2^k ), instead of 0, for each precision score whose matching n-gram count is null
# k is 1 for the first 'n' value for which the n-gram match count is null
# For example, if the text contains:
#   - one 2-gram match
#   - and (consequently) two 1-gram matches
# the n-gram count for each individual precision score would be:
#   - n=1  =>  prec_count = 2     (two unigrams)
#   - n=2  =>  prec_count = 1     (one bigram)
#   - n=3  =>  prec_count = 1/2   (no trigram,  taking 'smoothed' value of 1 / ( 2^k ), with k=1)
#   - n=4  =>  prec_count = 1/4   (no fourgram, taking 'smoothed' value of 1 / ( 2^k ), with k=2)
