Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

rouge

✓ from rouge_chinese import Rouge

✗ import rouge

The correct import is from rouge_chinese, not the generic 'rouge' package.

Basic usage computing ROUGE scores for Chinese text.

from rouge_chinese import Rouge # Example hypotheses and references (Chinese text) hypotheses = ["这是一个测试句子"] references = ["这是一个参考句子"] rouge = Rouge() scores = rouge.get_scores(hypotheses, references) print(scores)

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe library 'rouge-chinese' is commonly confused with 'rouge' (the general ROUGE implementation). Importing from 'rouge' instead of 'rouge_chinese' will import a different library with different API.

fix

Use 'from rouge_chinese import Rouge' instead of 'import rouge'.

affects: all

gotchaThe library returns scores as a dictionary with keys like 'rouge-1', 'rouge-2', 'rouge-l', but the output format differs from the original 'rouge' library. The 'f' key is present but some users expect 'f1-score'.

fix

Access scores via scores[0]['rouge-1']['f'] and similar.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library has not been updated since 2021 and may have compatibility issues with newer Python versions (e.g., Python 3.10+). It relies on 'jieba' which may change its API.

fix

Consider pinning dependencies (jieba==0.42.1) or switching to 'rouge' library with proper Chinese tokenization.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'rouge' has no attribute 'Rouge'

Wrong import: using 'import rouge' instead of 'from rouge_chinese import Rouge'.

fix

Install rouge-chinese and import as 'from rouge_chinese import Rouge'.

TypeError: get_scores() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given

Passing arguments incorrectly; the API expects (hypotheses, references) as lists of strings.

fix

Call as 'rouge.get_scores(hypotheses, references)' with two lists.

ImportError: No module named 'jieba'

Missing dependency jieba required for Chinese word segmentation.

fix

Install jieba: 'pip install jieba'.
