Usage

To install the API, simply run

pip install eaas

To use the API, You should go through the following two steps.

• Step 1: You should load the default configurations and make modifications based on your own needs.

from eaas import Config
config = Config()
# To see the metrics we support, run
print(config.metrics())
# dict_keys(['bart_score_summ', 'bart_score_mt', 'bart_score_cnn_hypo_ref', 'bert_score', 'bleu', 'chrf', 'comet', 'comet_qe', 'mover_score', 'prism', 'prism_qe', 'rouge1', 'rouge2', 'rougeL'])

# To see the default configuration of a metric, run
print(config.bleu.to_dict())
# {'smooth_method': 'exp', 'smooth_value': None, 'force': False, 'lowercase': False, 'use_effective_order': False}

# To modify the config, run
config.bleu.set_property("smooth_method", "floor")
print(config.bleu.to_dict())
# {'smooth_method': 'floor', 'smooth_value': None, 'force': False, 'lowercase': False, 'use_effective_order': False}

• Step 2: Initialize the client and send your inputs.

from eaas import Client
client = Client()
client.load_config(config)  # The config you have created above

# To use this API for scoring, you need to format your input as list of dictionary. 
# Each dictionary consists of `source` (string, optional), `references` (list of string, optional) 
# and `hypothesis` (string, required). `source` and `references` are optional based on the metrics 
# you want to use. Please do not conduct any preprocessing on `source`, `references` or `hypothesis`, 
# we expect normal-cased detokenized texts. All the preprocessing steps are taken by the metrics. 
# Below is a simple example.

inputs = [{"source": "This is the source.", 
           "references": ["This is the reference one.", "This is the reference two."],
           "hypothesis": "This is the generated hypothesis."}]
metrics = ["bleu", "chrf"] # Can be None for simplicity if you consider using all metrics

score_dic = client.score(inputs, task="sum", metrics=metrics, lang="en", cal_attributes=True) 
# inputs is a list of Dict, task is the name of task, metrics is metric list, lang is the two-letter code language.
# You can also set cal_attributes=False to save some time since some attribute calculations can be slow.

The output is like

# sample_level is a list of dict, corpus_level is a dict
{
    'sample_level': [
        {'bleu': 32.46679154750991,

Support for Common metrics

We support quick calculation for BLEU and ROUGE(1,2,L), see the following for usage.

from eaas import Config, Client
config = Config()
client = Client()
client.load_config(config) 

references = [["This is the reference one for sample one.", "This is the reference two for sample one."],
              ["This is the reference one for sample two.", "This is the reference two for sample two."]]
hypothesis = ["This is the generated hypothesis for sample one.", 
              "This is the generated hypothesis for sample two."]

# Calculate BLEU
client.bleu(references, hypothesis, lang="en")

# Calculate ROUGEs
client.rouge1(references, hypothesis, lang="en")
client.rouge2(references, hypothesis, lang="en")
client.rougeL(references, hypothesis, lang="en")
