TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'list'The code computing BLEU was copied fromtransformers/run_translation.py at master · huggingface/transformers · GitHubI also ran that code and print preds in compute_metrics which were all integers. I think my main problem is why the preds printed in my code are not  integers which can not be decode.This has been disturbing me for two days. Could someone please point out where is wrong? Thank you!

Hi, I encounter the same situation that trying to use BLEU as the evaluation metric but having the same error as you. Did you find out a solution?
2022-03-07T14:11:19Z
I am having the same problem with the ROUGE metric when trying to fine-tune BART for summarization.
2023-05-26T09:12:44Z
Still stuck on this in 2023. Did any of the previous commenters find the problem? Please reply urgently!
2023-05-30T06:25:59Z
set predict_with_generate = True in training_args solved my problem
2023-11-03T12:22:51Z
It solved the issue! Thanks.
