Make number format consistent and configurable

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Currently the formatting of numbers is not consistent, and also cannot be changed. It would be nice to adjust the following:

  • Most places use four digits, but some use 2, and others use default string formatting of Python. It would be nice to be able to specify the number of digits.
  • We can't adjust whether we want to have numbers be multiplied by 100 or not (sometimes this is good for BLEU, as it makes numbers easier to read and tables more concise).
  • Integer values should not have decimal places.

This can be worked on once #49 is merged.

FYI I started addressing the 1st (and last also I guess) point.

I think the middle point isn't so important, so I'll close this.
