metametric

The metametric Python package offers a set of tools for quickly and easily defining and implementing evaluation metrics for a variety of structured prediction tasks in natural language processing (NLP) based on the framework presented in the following paper:

A Unified View of Evaluation Metrics for Structured Prediction. Yunmo Chen, William Gantt, Tongfei Chen, Aaron Steven White, and Benjamin Van Durme. EMNLP 2023.

The key features of the package include:

• A decorator for automatically defining and implementing a custom metric for an arbitrary dataclass.
• A collection of generic components for defining arbitrary new metrics based on the framework in the paper.
• Implementations of a number of metrics for common structured prediction tasks.

To install, run:

pip install metametric
