BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) and ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) are metrics used to evaluate natural language processing (NLP) models, particularly for tasks like machine translation and text summarization. According to NVIDIA’s NeMo documentation on NLP evaluation metrics, BLEU primarily measures the precision of n-gram overlaps between generated and reference translations, making it suitable for assessing translation quality. ROUGE, on the other hand, focuses on recall, measuring the overlap of n-grams, longest common subsequences, or skip-bigrams between generated and reference summaries, making it ideal for summarization tasks. Option A is incorrect, as BLEU and ROUGE do not measure fluency or uniqueness directly. Option B is wrong, as both metrics focus on n-gram overlap, not syntactic or semantic analysis. Option D is false, as neither metric evaluates efficiency or complexity.
