The poseval metric can be used to evaluate POS taggers. Since seqeval does not
work well with POS data that is not in IOB format the poseval is an
alternative. It treats each token in the dataset as independant observation
and computes the precision, recall and F1-score irrespective of sentences. It
uses scikit-learns's classification report to compute the scores.
Metric Card for peqeval
Metric description
The poseval metric can be used to evaluate POS taggers. Since seqeval does not work well with POS data (see e.g. here) that is not in IOB format the poseval is an alternative. It treats each token in the dataset as independant observation and computes the precision, recall and F1-score irrespective of sentences. It uses scikit-learns's classification report to compute the scores.
How to use
Poseval produces labelling scores along with its sufficient statistics from a source against references.
It takes two mandatory arguments:
predictions
: a list of lists of predicted labels, i.e. estimated targets as returned by a tagger.
references
: a list of lists of reference labels, i.e. the ground truth/target values.
It can also take several optional arguments:
zero_division
: Which value to substitute as a metric value when encountering zero division. Should be one of [0
,1
,"warn"
]. "warn"
acts as 0
, but the warning is raised.
>>> predictions = [['INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'NOUN', 'PUNCT', 'INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'VERB', 'SYM']]
>>> references = [['INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'PROPN', 'PUNCT', 'INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'PROPN', 'SYM']]
>>> poseval = evaluate.load("poseval")
>>> results = poseval.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references)
>>> print(list(results.keys()))
['ADP', 'INTJ', 'NOUN', 'PROPN', 'PUNCT', 'SYM', 'VERB', 'accuracy', 'macro avg', 'weighted avg']
>>> print(results["accuracy"])
0.8
>>> print(results["PROPN"]["recall"])
0.5
Output values
This metric returns a a classification report as a dictionary with a summary of scores for overall and per type:
Overall (weighted and macro avg):
accuracy
: the average accuracy, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
precision
: the average precision, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
recall
: the average recall, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
f1
: the average F1 score, which is the harmonic mean of the precision and recall. It also has a scale of 0.0 to 1.0.
Per type (e.g. MISC
, PER
, LOC
,...):
precision
: the average precision, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
recall
: the average recall, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
f1
: the average F1 score, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
Examples
>>> predictions = [['INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'NOUN', 'PUNCT', 'INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'VERB', 'SYM']]
>>> references = [['INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'PROPN', 'PUNCT', 'INTJ', 'ADP', 'PROPN', 'PROPN', 'SYM']]
>>> poseval = evaluate.load("poseval")
>>> results = poseval.compute(predictions=predictions, references=references)
>>> print(list(results.keys()))
['ADP', 'INTJ', 'NOUN', 'PROPN', 'PUNCT', 'SYM', 'VERB', 'accuracy', 'macro avg', 'weighted avg']
>>> print(results["accuracy"])
0.8
>>> print(results["PROPN"]["recall"])
0.5
Limitations and bias
In contrast to seqeval, the poseval metric treats each token independently and computes the classification report over all concatenated sequences..
