BLEU might be Guilty but References are not Innocent - https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.06063 - We show that it is possible to calculate reliable automatic scores (even with BLEU) for high quality MT output by using a novel reference generation method.
Typical references exhibit poor diversity, concentrating around translationese language. Paraphrased references cover a wider diversity of target sentences and thus do not penalize alternative but equally accurate translations.
Releasing all reference translations gives the community a chance to revisit some of their decisions and measure quality differences for modeling techniques that produce more natural or fluent output which is penalized by standard references.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
Importantly, that investor viewpoint is not new. It cycles in when conditions are right (and vice versa). It also brings the ineffective warnings of an overpriced market with it.Looking toward a good 2022 stock market, there is no apparent reason to expect these issues to change.
