Getting error "ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

[bernardoleite]

Right after installing and setting up nlg-eval with success, I did the following test:

from nlgeval import NLGEval

nlgeval = NLGEval()  # loads the models
metrics_dict = nlgeval.compute_individual_metrics(['this is small test'], 'this is a test')
print(metrics_dict)

I'm getting the following error:

Error handling value: b''
Decoded value: 
eval_line: EVAL ||| 4.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 2.0 3.0 3.0

    scores.append(float(dec(v.strip())))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

I am using Mac OS High Sierra with python 3.9.7.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.
