# BERTScore
*This is a small fork I did. The small addition is that in the function plot_example, there's an option to get the raw data upon which the plot is based, instead of plotting.

Automatic Evaluation Metric described in the paper [BERTScore: Evaluating Text Generation with BERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09675) (ICLR 2020). We now support about 130 models (see this [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RKOVpselB98Nnh_EOC4A2BYn8_201tmPODpNWu4w7xI/edit?usp=sharing) for their correlations with human evaluation). Currently, the best model is `microsoft/deberta-xlarge-mnli`, please consider using it instead of the default `roberta-large` in order to have the best correlation with human evaluation.

### Overview
BERTScore leverages the pre-trained contextual embeddings from BERT and matches
words in candidate and reference sentences by cosine similarity.
It has been shown to correlate with human judgment on sentence-level and
system-level evaluation.
Moreover, BERTScore computes precision, recall, and F1 measure, which can be
useful for evaluating different language generation tasks.
For an illustration, BERTScore recall can be computed as

### Installation
* Python version >= 3.6
* PyTorch version >= 1.0.0
Install from pypi with pip by
```sh
pip install bert-score
```
Install latest unstable version from the master branch on Github by:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/Tiiiger/bert_score
```
Install it from the source by:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Tiiiger/bert_score
cd bert_score
pip install .
```
and you may test your installation by:
```
python -m unittest discover
```
### Usage
#### Python Function
On a high level, we provide a python function `bert_score.score` and a python object `bert_score.BERTScorer`.
The function provides all the supported features while the scorer object caches the BERT model to faciliate multiple evaluations.
Check our [demo](./example/Demo.ipynb) to see how to use these two interfaces.
Please refer to [`bert_score/score.py`](./bert_score/score.py) for implementation details.
Running BERTScore can be computationally intensive (because it uses BERT :p).
Therefore, a GPU is usually necessary. If you don't have access to a GPU, you
can try our [demo on Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1kpL8Y_AnUUiCxFjhxSrxCsc6-sDMNb_Q)
#### Command Line Interface (CLI)
We provide a command line interface (CLI) of BERTScore as well as a python module.
For the CLI, you can use it as follows:
1. To evaluate English text files:
We provide example inputs under `./example`.
```sh
bert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en
```
You will get the following output at the end:
roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0) P: 0.957378 R: 0.961325 F1: 0.959333
where "roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)" is the hash code.
Starting from version 0.3.0, we support rescaling the scores with baseline scores
```sh
bert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en --rescale_with_baseline
```
You will get:
roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)-rescaled P: 0.747044 R: 0.770484 F1: 0.759045
This makes the range of the scores larger and more human-readable. Please see this [post](./journal/rescale_baseline.md) for details.
When having multiple reference sentences, please use
```sh
bert-score -r example/refs.txt example/refs2.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en
```
where the `-r` argument supports an arbitrary number of reference files. Each reference file should have the same number of lines as your candidate/hypothesis file. The i-th line in each reference file corresponds to the i-th line in the candidate file.
2. To evaluate text files in other languages:
We currently support the 104 languages in multilingual BERT ([full list](https://github.com/google-research/bert/blob/master/multilingual.md#list-of-languages)).
Please specify the two-letter abbreviation of the language. For instance, using `--lang zh` for Chinese text.
See more options by `bert-score -h`.
3. To load your own custom model:
Please specify the path to the model and the number of layers to use by `--model` and `--num_layers`.
```sh
bert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --model path_to_my_bert --num_layers 9
```
4. To visualize matching scores:
```sh
bert-score-show --lang en -r "There are two bananas on the table." -c "On the table are two apples." -f out.png
```
The figure will be saved to out.png.
5. If you see the following message while using BERTScore, please ignore it. This is expected.
```
Some weights of the model checkpoint at roberta-large were not used when initializing RobertaModel: ['lm_head.decoder.weight', 'lm_head.layer_norm.weight', 'lm_head.dense.bias', 'lm_head.layer_norm.bias', 'lm_head.bias', 'lm_head.dense.weight']
- This IS expected if you are initializing RobertaModel from the checkpoint of a model trained on another task or with another architecture (e.g. initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForPreTraining model).
- This IS NOT expected if you are initializing RobertaModel from the checkpoint of a model that you expect to be exactly identical (initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForSequenceClassification model).
```
#### Practical Tips
* Report the hash code (e.g., `roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)-rescaled`) in your paper so that people know what setting you use. This is inspired by [sacreBLEU](https://github.com/mjpost/sacreBLEU). Changes in huggingface's transformers version may also affect the score (See [issue #46](https://github.com/Tiiiger/bert_score/issues/46)).
* Unlike BERT, RoBERTa uses GPT2-style tokenizer which creates addition " " tokens when there are multiple spaces appearing together. It is recommended to remove addition spaces by `sent = re.sub(r' +', ' ', sent)` or `sent = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', sent)`.
* Using inverse document frequency (idf) on the reference
sentences to weigh word importance may correlate better with human judgment.
However, when the set of reference sentences become too small, the idf score
would become inaccurate/invalid.
We now make it optional. To use idf,
please set `--idf` when using the CLI tool or
`idf=True` when calling `bert_score.score` function.
* When you are low on GPU memory, consider setting `batch_size` when calling
`bert_score.score` function.
* To use a particular model please set `-m MODEL_TYPE` when using the CLI tool
or `model_type=MODEL_TYPE` when calling `bert_score.score` function.
* We tune layer to use based on WMT16 metric evaluation dataset. You may use a
different layer by setting `-l LAYER` or `num_layers=LAYER`. To tune the best layer for your custom model, please follow the instructions in [tune_layers](tune_layers) folder.
* __Limitation__: Because BERT, RoBERTa, and XLM with learned positional embeddings are pre-trained on sentences with max length 512, BERTScore is undefined between sentences longer than 510 (512 after adding \[CLS\] and \[SEP\] tokens). The sentences longer than this will be truncated. Please consider using XLNet which can support much longer inputs.

To evaluate English text files:\r\n\r\nWe provide example inputs under `./example`.\r\n\r\n```sh\r\nbert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en\r\n```\r\nYou will get the following output at the end:\r\n\r\nroberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0) P: 0.957378 R: 0.961325 F1: 0.959333\r\n\r\nwhere \"roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)\" is the hash code.\r\n\r\nStarting from version 0.3.0, we support rescaling the scores with baseline scores\r\n\r\n```sh\r\nbert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en --rescale_with_baseline\r\n```\r\nYou will get:\r\n\r\nroberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)-rescaled P: 0.747044 R: 0.770484 F1: 0.759045 \r\n\r\nThis makes the range of the scores larger and more human-readable. Please see this [post](./journal/rescale_baseline.md) for details.\r\n\r\nWhen having multiple reference sentences, please use\r\n```sh\r\nbert-score -r example/refs.txt example/refs2.txt -c example/hyps.txt --lang en\r\n```\r\nwhere the `-r` argument supports an arbitrary number of reference files. Each reference file should have the same number of lines as your candidate/hypothesis file. The i-th line in each reference file corresponds to the i-th line in the candidate file.\r\n\r\n\r\n2. To evaluate text files in other languages:\r\n\r\nWe currently support the 104 languages in multilingual BERT ([full list](https://github.com/google-research/bert/blob/master/multilingual.md#list-of-languages)).\r\n\r\nPlease specify the two-letter abbreviation of the language. For instance, using `--lang zh` for Chinese text. \r\n\r\nSee more options by `bert-score -h`.\r\n\r\n\r\n3. To load your own custom model:\r\nPlease specify the path to the model and the number of layers to use by `--model` and `--num_layers`.\r\n```sh\r\nbert-score -r example/refs.txt -c example/hyps.txt --model path_to_my_bert --num_layers 9\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n4. To visualize matching scores:\r\n```sh\r\nbert-score-show --lang en -r \"There are two bananas on the table.\" -c \"On the table are two apples.\" -f out.png\r\n```\r\nThe figure will be saved to out.png.\r\n\r\n5. If you see the following message while using BERTScore, please ignore it. This is expected.\r\n```\r\nSome weights of the model checkpoint at roberta-large were not used when initializing RobertaModel: ['lm_head.decoder.weight', 'lm_head.layer_norm.weight', 'lm_head.dense.bias', 'lm_head.layer_norm.bias', 'lm_head.bias', 'lm_head.dense.weight']\r\n- This IS expected if you are initializing RobertaModel from the checkpoint of a model trained on another task or with another architecture (e.g. initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForPreTraining model).\r\n- This IS NOT expected if you are initializing RobertaModel from the checkpoint of a model that you expect to be exactly identical (initializing a BertForSequenceClassification model from a BertForSequenceClassification model).\r\n```\r\n\r\n#### Practical Tips\r\n\r\n* Report the hash code (e.g., `roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.0(hug_trans=2.3.0)-rescaled`) in your paper so that people know what setting you use. This is inspired by [sacreBLEU](https://github.com/mjpost/sacreBLEU). Changes in huggingface's transformers version may also affect the score (See [issue #46](https://github.com/Tiiiger/bert_score/issues/46)).\r\n* Unlike BERT, RoBERTa uses GPT2-style tokenizer which creates addition \" \" tokens when there are multiple spaces appearing together. It is recommended to remove addition spaces by `sent = re.sub(r' +', ' ', sent)` or `sent = re.sub(r'\\s+', ' ', sent)`.\r\n* Using inverse document frequency (idf) on the reference\r\n sentences to weigh word importance may correlate better with human judgment.\r\n However, when the set of reference sentences become too small, the idf score \r\n would become inaccurate/invalid.\r\n We now make it optional. To use idf,\r\n please set `--idf` when using the CLI tool or\r\n `idf=True` when calling `bert_score.score` function.\r\n* When you are low on GPU memory, consider setting `batch_size` when calling\r\n `bert_score.score` function.\r\n* To use a particular model please set `-m MODEL_TYPE` when using the CLI tool\r\n or `model_type=MODEL_TYPE` when calling `bert_score.score` function. \r\n* We tune layer to use based on WMT16 metric evaluation dataset. You may use a\r\n different layer by setting `-l LAYER` or `num_layers=LAYER`. To tune the best layer for your custom model, please follow the instructions in [tune_layers](tune_layers) folder.\r\n* __Limitation__: Because BERT, RoBERTa, and XLM with learned positional embeddings are pre-trained on sentences with max length 512, BERTScore is undefined between sentences longer than 510 (512 after adding \\[CLS\\] and \\[SEP\\] tokens). The sentences longer than this will be truncated. Please consider using XLNet which can support much longer inputs.\r\n\r\n### Default Behavior\r\n\r\n#### Default Model\r\n| Language | Model |\r\n|:---------:|:--------------------------------:|\r\n| en | roberta-large |\r\n| en-sci | allenai/scibert_scivocab_uncased |\r\n| zh | bert-base-chinese |\r\n| tr | dbmdz/bert-base-turkish-cased |\r\n| others | bert-base-multilingual-cased |\r\n\r\n#### Default Layers\r\nPlease see this [Google sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RKOVpselB98Nnh_EOC4A2BYn8_201tmPODpNWu4w7xI/edit?usp=sharing) for the supported models and their performance.\r\n\r\n### Acknowledgement\r\nThis repo wouldn't be possible without the awesome\r\n[bert](https://github.com/google-research/bert), [fairseq](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq), and [transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers).\r\n",
