# Sacrebleuscore

> Compute the SacreBLEUScore metric — provided by torchmetrics. Use when the user has predictions and ground-truth and needs to compute SacreBLEUScore, or asks how to score with SacreBLEUScore.

# sacrebleuscore

> Metric `SacreBLEUScore` from `torchmetrics` (torchmetrics.SacreBLEUScore)

## When to invoke this skill

The user has predictions + ground truth and asks to evaluate with SacreBLEUScore, or
mentions `torchmetrics.SacreBLEUScore` directly, or wants the standard torchmetrics implementation.

## Reference signature

```python
from torchmetrics import SacreBLEUScore

# _SacreBLEUScore(n_gram: int = 4, smooth: bool = False, tokenize: Literal['none', '13a', 'zh', 'intl', 'char'] = '13a', lowercase: bool = False, weights: Optional[collections.abc.Sequence[float]] = None, **kwargs: Any) -> None
```

## Library docstring

```
Wrapper for deprecated import.

>>> preds = ['the cat is on the mat']
>>> target = [['there is a cat on the mat', 'a cat is on the mat']]
>>> sacre_bleu = _SacreBLEUScore()
>>> sacre_bleu(preds, target)
tensor(0.7598)
```

## Quick recipe

```python
import torchmetrics as _m
score = _m.SacreBLEUScore(y_true, y_pred)
```

## Don'ts

- Don't reimplement when the library version handles edge cases (NaN, ties, empty inputs) better than a hand-rolled formula.
- Always check the library version's argument order — sklearn is `(y_true, y_pred)` while torchmetrics is `(preds, target)`.
