_DESCRIPTION = """\
METEOR, an automatic metric for machine translation evaluation
that is based on a generalized concept of unigram matching between the
machine-produced translation and human-produced reference translations.
Unigrams can be matched based on their surface forms, stemmed forms,
and meanings; furthermore, METEOR can be easily extended to include more
advanced matching strategies. Once all generalized unigram matches
between the two strings have been found, METEOR computes a score for
this matching using a combination of unigram-precision, unigram-recall, and
a measure of fragmentation that is designed to directly capture how
well-ordered the matched words in the machine translation are in relation
to the reference.

METEOR gets an R correlation value of 0.347 with human evaluation on the Arabic
data and 0.331 on the Chinese data. This is shown to be an improvement on
using simply unigram-precision, unigram-recall and their harmonic F1
combination.
"""

_KWARGS_DESCRIPTION = """
Computes METEOR score of translated segments against one or more references.
Args:
    predictions: list of predictions to score. Each prediction
        should be a string with tokens separated by spaces.
    references: list of reference for each prediction. Each
        reference should be a string with tokens separated by spaces.
    alpha: Parameter for controlling relative weights of precision and recall. default: 0.9
    beta: Parameter for controlling shape of penalty as a function of fragmentation. default: 3
    gamma: Relative weight assigned to fragmentation penalty. default: 0.5
Returns:
    'meteor': meteor score.
Examples:

    >>> meteor = evaluate.load('meteor')
    >>> predictions = ["It is a guide to action which ensures that the military always obeys the commands of the party"]
    >>> references = ["It is a guide to action that ensures that the military will forever heed Party commands"]
    >>> results = meteor.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references)
    >>> print(round(results["meteor"], 4))
