Known issues
- Course of a training heavily depends on a random seed. There is high variance in the time required to reach a certain BLEU score. Also the highest BLEU score value observed vary between runs with different seeds.
- Translations produced by training script during online evaluation may differ from those produced by
generate.pyscript. It is probably a format conversion issue.
