Hello everyone, I’ve been studying transformer lately and I confused with BERTScore. So I tried to check the score of “who are you” and “look at the dogs” but I dont understand why the precision is really high? its preicions is 86% or am I doing it wrong?
Here is my code
bert_metric.compute(
predictions=["who are you"],
references=[["look at the dogs"]],
lang='en'
)
and here is the output
{‘precision’: [0.8612378835678101],
‘recall’: [0.8896267414093018],
‘f1’: [0.8752021789550781],
‘hashcode’: ‘roberta-large_L17_no-idf_version=0.3.12(hug_trans=5.0.0)’}
Thanks in advance!
