Evaluation of text generation performance on the test split of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet corpus, measured using standard n-gram overlap metrics (BLEU scores).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Text Generation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (test) |
| Metric | BLEU-2 |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [BLEU-2](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/text-generation-on-shakespeare-s-romeo-and-juliet-test.md?metric=BLEU-2>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [BLEU-3](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/text-generation-on-shakespeare-s-romeo-and-juliet-test.md?metric=BLEU-3>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [BLEU-4](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/text-generation-on-shakespeare-s-romeo-and-juliet-test.md?metric=BLEU-4>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
