A full Python implementation of the ROUGE metric, producing same results as in the official perl implementation.
- The original Porter stemmer in NLTK is slightly different than the one use in the official ROUGE perl script as it has been written by end. Therefore, there might be slightly different stems for certain words. For DUC2004 dataset, I have identified these words and this script produces same stems.
- The official ROUGE perl script use resampling strategy to compute the average with confidence intervals. Therefore, we might have a difference
<3e-5for ROUGE-L as well as ROUGE-W and<4e-5for ROUGE-N. - Finally, ROUGE-1.5.5. has a bug: should have $tmpTextLen += $sLen at line 2101. Here, the last sentence, $limitBytes is taken instead of $limitBytes-$tmpTextLen (as $tmpTextLen is never updated with bytes length limit). It has been fixed in this code. This bug does not have a consequence for the default evaluation
-b 665.
In case of doubts, please see all the implemented tests to compare outputs between the official ROUGE-1.5.5 and this script.
