ChunkEvaluator

class paddle::ChunkEvaluator

Chunk evaluator is used to evaluate segment labelling accuracy for a sequence. It calculates the chunk detection F1 score.

A chunk is correctly detected if its beginning, end and type are correct. Other chunk type is ignored. For each label in the label sequence, we have

tagType = label % numTagType
chunkType = label / numTagType
otherChunkType = numChunkTypes

The total number of different labels is numTagType*numChunkTypes+1 We support 4 labelling scheme The tag type for each of the scheme is shown as follows:

Scheme Begin Inside End   Single
 plain  0     -      -     -
 IOB    0     1      -     -
 IOE    -     0      1     -
 IOBES  0     1      2     3

‘plain’ means the whole chunk must contain exactly the same chunk label.

The output format will be:

  • sequence without sub-sequence, and there is probability.

id \t prob space_seperated_tokens_from_dictionary_according_to_seq

  • sequence without sub-sequence, and there is not probability.

id \t space_seperated_tokens_from_dictionary_according_to_seq

  • sequence with sub-sequence, and there is not probability.

id \t space_seperated_tokens_from_dictionary_according_to_sub_seq
\t \t space_seperated_tokens_from_dictionary_according_to_sub_seq
...

Typically SequenceTextPrinter layer takes output of maxid or RecurrentGroup with maxid (when generating) as an input.
