seqeval 0.0.15

Testing framework for sequence labeling

seqeval

seqeval is a Python framework for sequence labeling evaluation. seqeval can evaluate the performance of chunking tasks such as named-entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, semantic role labeling and so on.

This is well-tested by using the Perl script conlleval, which can be used for measuring the performance of a system that has processed the CoNLL-2000 shared task data.

Support features

seqeval supports following formats:

• IOB1
• IOB2
• IOE1
• IOE2
• IOBES

and supports following metrics:

metrics	description
accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)	Compute the accuracy.
precision_score(y_true, y_pred)	Compute the precision.
recall_score(y_true, y_pred)	Compute the recall.
f1_score(y_true, y_pred)	Compute the F1 score, also known as balanced F-score or F-measure.
classification_report(y_true, y_pred, digits=2)	Build a text report showing the main classification metrics. digits is number of digits for formatting output floating point values. Default value is 2.

Usage

Behold, the power of seqeval:

>>> from seqeval.metrics import accuracy_score
>>> from seqeval.metrics import classification_report
>>> from seqeval.metrics import f1_score
>>> 
>>> y_true = [['O', 'O', 'O', 'B-MISC', 'I-MISC', 'I-MISC', 'O'], ['B-PER', 'I-PER', 'O']]
>>> y_pred = [['O', 'O', 'B-MISC', 'I-MISC', 'I-MISC', 'I-MISC', 'O'], ['B-PER', 'I-PER', 'O']]
>>>
>>> f1_score(y_true, y_pred)
0.50
>>> accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
0.80
>>> classification_report(y_true, y_pred)
             precision    recall  f1-score   support

        PER       1.00      1.00      1.00         1

  micro avg       0.50      0.50      0.50         2
  macro avg       0.50      0.50      0.50         2

Keras Callback

Seqeval provides a callback for Keras:

from seqeval.callbacks import F1Metrics

id2label = {0: '<PAD>', 1: 'B-LOC', 2: 'I-LOC'}
callbacks = [F1Metrics(id2label)]
model.fit(x, y, validation_data=(x_val, y_val), callbacks=callbacks)

$ pip install seqeval[cpu]
