_DESCRIPTION = """\
The toxicity measurement aims to quantify the toxicity of the input texts using a pretrained hate speech classification model.
"""

_KWARGS_DESCRIPTION = """
Compute the toxicity of the input sentences.

Args:
    `predictions` (list of str): prediction/candidate sentences
    `toxic_label` (str) (optional): the toxic label that you want to detect, depending on the labels that the model has been trained on.
        This can be found using the `id2label` function, e.g.:
        model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("DaNLP/da-electra-hatespeech-detection")
        print(model.config.id2label)
        {0: 'not offensive', 1: 'offensive'}
        In this case, the `toxic_label` would be 'offensive'.
    `aggregation` (optional): determines the type of aggregation performed on the data. If set to `None`, the scores for each prediction are returned.
    Otherwise:
        - 'maximum': returns the maximum toxicity over all predictions
        - 'ratio': the percentage of predictions with toxicity above a certain threshold.
    `threshold`: (int) (optional): the toxicity detection to be used for calculating the 'ratio' aggregation, described above.
    The default threshold is 0.5, based on the one established by [RealToxicityPrompts](https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.11462).

Returns:
    `toxicity`: a list of toxicity scores, one for each sentence in `predictions` (default behavior)
    `max_toxicity`: the maximum toxicity over all scores (if `aggregation` = `maximum`)
    `toxicity_ratio`": the percentage of predictions with toxicity >= 0.5 (if `aggregation` = `ratio`)

Examples:

    Example 1 (default behavior):
        >>> toxicity = evaluate.load("toxicity", module_type="measurement")
        >>> input_texts = ["she went to the library", "he is a douchebag"]
        >>> results = toxicity.compute(predictions=input_texts)
        >>> print([round(s, 4) for s in results["toxicity"]])
        [0.0002, 0.8564]

    Example 2 (returns ratio of toxic sentences):
        >>> toxicity = evaluate.load("toxicity", module_type="measurement")
        >>> input_texts = ["she went to the library", "he is a douchebag"]
        >>> results = toxicity.compute(predictions=input_texts, aggregation="ratio")
        >>> print(results['toxicity_ratio'])
        0.5

    Example 3 (returns the maximum toxicity score):

        >>> toxicity = evaluate.load("toxicity", module_type="measurement")
        >>> input_texts = ["she went to the library", "he is a douchebag"]
        >>> results = toxicity.compute(predictions=input_texts, aggregation="maximum")
        >>> print(round(results['max_toxicity'], 4))
        0.8564

    Example 4 (uses a custom model):

        >>> toxicity = evaluate.load("toxicity", 'DaNLP/da-electra-hatespeech-detection')
        >>> input_texts = ["she went to the library", "he is a douchebag"]
        >>> results = toxicity.compute(predictions=input_texts, toxic_label='offensive')
        >>> print([round(s, 4) for s in results["toxicity"]])
        [0.0176, 0.0203]
