Pyrouge takes so much time to give the results

[sajastu]

Hey, I run the package with the instructions on github/website, but it takes so much to give the results for Rouge scores (~20/25 minutes!) .

This is my code, which is actually a simple copy from the documentation:

from pyrouge import Rouge155

r = Rouge155()
r.system_dir = 'rad_decoder_sys/'
r.model_dir = 'rad_decoder_ref/'
r.system_filename_pattern = 'rademb-preds.(\d+).txt'
r.model_filename_pattern = 'rademb-gold.#ID#.txt'

output = r.convert_and_evaluate()
print(output)

When I try to run the script above, I end up with these logs:

I tried with both PyCharm and terminal, but that didn't help.

Anyone having the same issue?

Thanks!

Not an issue afaik. For about 12k instances, I experience similar evaluation times.
If you want something faster (albeit results aren't 100% identical), I recommend py-rouge
