+# QA-Evaluation-Metrics
+
+[![PyPI version qa-metrics](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/qa-metrics.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/qa-metrics/) 
+
+
+QA-Evaluation-Metrics is a fast and lightweight Python package for evaluating question-answering models. It provides various basic metrics to assess the performance of QA models. Check out our **CFMatcher**, a matching method going beyond token-level matching and is more efficient than LLM matchings but still retains competitive evaluation performance of transformer LLM models.

+If you find this repo avialable, please cite our paper:

+  title={CFMatch: Aligning Automated Answer Equivalence Evaluation with Expert Judgments For Open-Domain Question Answering}, 
+  author={Zongxia Li and Ishani Mondal and Yijun Liang and Huy Nghiem and Jordan Boyd-Graber},
+  year={2024},
+  eprint={2401.13170},

+}
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the package, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+pip install qa-metrics
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The python package currently provides four QA evaluation metrics.
+
+#### Exact Match
+```python
+from qa_metrics.em import em_match
+
+reference_answer = ["Charles , Prince of Wales"]
+candidate_answer = "Prince Charles"
+match_result = em_match(reference_answer, candidate_answer)
+print("Exact Match: ", match_result)
+```
+
+#### Transformer Match
+Our fine-tuned BERT model is this repository. Our Package also supports downloading and matching directly. More Matching transformer models will be available 🔥🔥🔥
+
+```python
+from qa_metrics.transformerMatcher import TransformerMatcher
+
+question = "who will take the throne after the queen dies"
+tm = TransformerMatcher("bert")
+scores = tm.get_scores(reference_answer, candidate_answer, question)
+match_result = tm.transformer_match(reference_answer, candidate_answer, question)
+print("Score: %s; CF Match: %s" % (scores, match_result))
+```
+
+#### F1 Score
+```python
+from qa_metrics.f1 import f1_match,f1_score_with_precision_recall
+
+f1_stats = f1_score_with_precision_recall(reference_answer[0], candidate_answer)
+print("F1 stats: ", f1_stats)
+
+match_result = f1_match(reference_answer, candidate_answer, threshold=0.5)
+print("F1 Match: ", match_result)
+```
+
+#### CFMatch
+```python
+from qa_metrics.cfm import CFMatcher
+
+question = "who will take the throne after the queen dies"
+cfm = CFMatcher()
+scores = cfm.get_scores(reference_answer, candidate_answer, question)
+match_result = cfm.cf_match(reference_answer, candidate_answer, question)
+print("Score: %s; CF Match: %s" % (scores, match_result))
+```
