QGEval-metrics 1.0.11

Auto metrics for evaluating generated questions

How to use

Our codes provide the ability to evaluate automatic metrics which concludes the ability to calculate automatic metrics. Please follow these steps to calculate automatic QG metrics and evaluate automatic metrics on our benchmark.

Enviroment

run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required packages.

Calculate Automatic Metrics

1. Prepare data

   Use the data we provided at ../data/scores.xlsx, or use your own data, which should provide passages, answers, and references.

2. Calculate automatic metrics.

   • Download models at coming soon for metrics.

   • Update model path inside the codes. See QRelScore as an example.

     # update the path of mlm_model and clm_model
     def corpus_qrel(preds, contexts, device='cuda'):
         assert len(contexts) == len(preds)
         mlm_model = 'model/bert-base-cased'
         clm_model = 'model/gpt2'
         scorer = QRelScore(mlm_model=mlm_model,
                 clm_model=clm_model,
                 batch_size=16,
                 nthreads=4,
                 device=device)
         scores = scorer.compute_score_flatten(contexts, preds)
         return scores
     

   • Run python metrics.py to calculate your assigned metrics results by changing score_names in metrics.py. (data_path in each file should be changed into your own data path)

     # Run QRelScore and RQUGE based on our dataset
     # load data
     data_path = '../data/scores.xlsx'
     save_path = './result/metric_result.xlsx'
     data = pd.read_excel(data_path)
     hypos = data['prediction'].tolist()
     refs_list = [data['reference'].tolist()]
     contexts = data['passage'].tolist()
     answers = data['answer'].tolist()
     # scores to use
     score_names = ['QRelScore', 'RQUGE']
     
     # run metrics
     res = get_metrics(hypos, refs_list, contexts, answers, score_names=score_names)
     
     # handle results
     for k, v in res.items():
         data[k] = v
     print(data.columns)
     
     # save results
     data.to_excel(save_path, index=False)
     

   • or run the code file for specific metric to calculate. For example, run python qrel.py to calculate QRelScore results.

Evaluate Automatic Metrics

Run python coeff.py to obtain the Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlation coefficient between the generated results and the labeled results. For detailed process, please refer to readme of QGEval.
