_DESCRIPTION = """\
ROUGE, or Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation, is a set of metrics and a software package used for
evaluating automatic summarization and machine translation software in natural language processing.
The metrics compare an automatically produced summary or translation against a reference or a set of references (human-produced) summary or translation.

Note that ROUGE is case insensitive, meaning that upper case letters are treated the same way as lower case letters.

This metrics is a wrapper around Google Research reimplementation of ROUGE:
https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/rouge

BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) is an algorithm for evaluating the quality of text which has been machine-translated from one natural language to another.
Quality is considered to be the correspondence between a machine's output and that of a human: "the closer a machine translation is to a professional human translation, the better it is"
this is the central idea behind BLEU. BLEU was one of the first metrics to claim a high correlation with human judgements of quality, and remains one of the most popular automated and inexpensive metrics.

Scores are calculated for individual translated segments—generally sentences—by comparing them with a set of good quality reference translations.
Those scores are then averaged over the whole corpus to reach an estimate of the translation's overall quality.
Neither intelligibility nor grammatical correctness are not taken into account.

EXACT MATCH: Returns the rate at which the input predicted strings exactly match their references, ignoring any strings input as part of the regexes_to_ignore list.

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.
See the project's README at https://github.com/Tiiiger/bert_score#readme for more information.

BLEURT a learnt evaluation metric for Natural Language Generation. It is built using multiple phases of transfer learning starting from a pretrained BERT model (Devlin et al. 2018)
and then employing another pre-training phrase using synthetic data. Finally it is trained on WMT human annotations. You may run BLEURT out-of-the-box or fine-tune
it for your specific application (the latter is expected to perform better).
See the project's README at https://github.com/google-research/bleurt#readme for more information.
