My goal is to use BLEU as early stopping metric while training a translation model in FairSeq.
Following the documentation, I am adding the following arguments to my training script:
--eval-bleu --eval-bleu-args --eval-bleu-detok --eval-bleu-remove-bpe
I am getting the following error:
fairseq-train: error: unrecognized arguments: --eval-bleu --eval-bleu-args --eval-bleu-detok --eval-bleu-remove-bpe

When I am trying to finetune M2M100 model, I am getting error as:

The task that you are using translation_multi_simple_epoch does not have these arguments; they are specific for translation task.
Note that some of the arguments that you are using require values.
--eval-bleu-args expects a path to a configuration JSON for SacreBLEU. If you want to you the default 4-gram BLEU, you should skip this.
--eval-bleu-detok expects a specification of how you want to detokenize the model output. The default value is space which does not do anything.
For more details, see the documentation of the translation task in FairSeq.
