ROUGE (metric)
ROUGE, or Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation,[1] 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.
Metrics
The following five evaluation metrics[2] are available.
- ROUGE-N: N-gram[3] based co-occurrence statistics.
- ROUGE-L: Longest Common Subsequence (LCS)[4] based statistics. Longest common subsequence problem takes into account sentence level structure similarity naturally and identifies longest co-occurring in sequence n-grams automatically.
- ROUGE-W: Weighted LCS-based statistics that favors consecutive LCSes .
- ROUGE-S: Skip-bigram[5] based co-occurrence statistics. Skip-bigram is any pair of words in their sentence order.
- ROUGE-SU: Skip-bigram plus unigram-based co-occurrence statistics.
