RougeN#

class ignite.metrics.RougeN(ngram=4, multiref='average', alpha=0, output_transform=<function RougeN.<lambda>>, device=device(type='cpu'))[source]#

Calculates the Rouge-N score.

The Rouge-N is based on the ngram co-occurences of candidates and references.

More details can be found in Lin 2004.

update must receive output of the form (y_pred, y) or {'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}.
y_pred (list(list(str))) must be a sequence of tokens.
y (list(list(list(str))) must be a list of sequence of tokens.

Parameters

ngram (int) – ngram order (default: 4).
multiref (str) – reduces scores for multi references. Valid values are “best” and “average” (default: “average”).
alpha (float) – controls the importance between recall and precision (alpha -> 0: recall is more important, alpha -> 1: precision is more important)
output_transform (Callable) – a callable that is used to transform the Engine’s process_function’s output into the form expected by the metric. This can be useful if, for example, you have a multi-output model and you want to compute the metric with respect to one of the outputs.
device (Union[str, device]) – specifies which device updates are accumulated on. Setting the metric’s device to be the same as your update arguments ensures the update method is non-blocking. By default, CPU.

from ignite.metrics import RougeN

m = RougeN(ngram=2, multiref="best")

candidate = "the cat is not there".split()
references = [
    "the cat is on the mat".split(),
    "there is a cat on the mat".split()
]

m.update(([candidate], [references]))

print(m.compute())
