文本摘要任务中最常用的评价方法是ROUGE(Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation)。ROUGE受到了机器翻译自动评价方法BLEU的启发，不同之处在于，采用召回率来作为指标。基本思想是将模型生成的摘要与参考摘要的n元组贡献统计量作为评判依据。
现在主要采用软件是PERL语言编写的版本，见地址：
（https://github.com/andersjo/pyrouge/tree/master/tools/ROUGE-1.5.5）
然而这个工具的搭建，相对还比较麻烦，因此把整个搭建的过程记录一下：
（1）安装PERL语言，一般的Ubuntu环境都具备
（2）安装PERL语言的相关库，主要是XML语言解析器
（3）对数据进行处理，主要是WordNet数据的处理，主要是原来给的文件会存在无法打开的问题，即报如下错误：（Cannot open exception db file for reading: data/WordNet-2.0.exc.db）
处理步骤如下：
代码语言：javascript复制cd pythonrouge/RELEASE-1.5.5/data/
rm WordNet-2.0.exc.db
./WordNet-2.0-Exceptions/buildExeptionDB.pl ./WordNet-2.0-Exceptions ./smart_common_words.txt ./WordNet-2.0.exc.db
然后进行测试：
./ROUGE-1.5.5.pl -e data -c 95 -2 -1 -U -r 1000 -n 4 -w 1.2 -a ROUGE-test.xml
其中测试文件可以从如下网址下载：ROUGE-test.xml (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/summanlp/evaluation/master/ROUGE-RELEASE-1.5.5/sample-test/ROUGE-test.xml)
测试呈现的结果如下：
代码语言：javascript复制omnisky@omnisky:~/software/ROUGE-1.5.5$ ./ROUGE-1.5.5.pl -e data -c 95 -2 -1 -U -r 1000 -n 4 -w 1.2 -b 75 -m -a ROUGE-test.xml
