During February 2025, Lowry enhanced translation evaluation in the sillsdev/silnlp repository by developing a BLEU scoring feature that allows users to control how empty source or target segments are handled. Using Python, Lowry introduced a --score-empty command-line flag and refactored the scoring logic with an is_empty helper, improving both code readability and maintainability. The update included clear documentation and aligned help text to reflect the new parameter, supporting more accurate and targeted translation quality analysis. This work demonstrated depth in text processing, command-line interface design, and translation quality evaluation, addressing a nuanced challenge in automated metric computation.
