# Metric Card for RQUGE Score

## Metric Description

RQUGE is an evaluation metric designed for assessing the quality of generated questions. RQUGE evaluates the quality of a candidate question without the need to compare 
it to a reference question. It operates by taking into account the relevant context and answer span and employs a general question-answering module followed by
a span scoring mechanism to determine an acceptability score. 

## How to Use

RQUGE score takes three main inputs; "generated_questions" (list of generated questions), "contexts" (list of related contexts), and "answers" (list of reference answers). Additionally, "qa_model", and "sp_model" are used to provide the path to QA and span scorer modules. "device" is also an optional input.

```python
from evaluate import load
rqugescore = load("alirezamsh/rquge")
generated_questions = ["how is the weather?"]
contexts = ["the weather is sunny"]
answers = ["sunny"]
results = rqugescore.compute(generated_questions=generated_questions, contexts=contexts, answers=answers)
print(results["mean_score"])
>>> [5.05]
```
        
## Output Values

RQUGE score outputs a dictionary with the following values:

``` mean_score ```: The average RQUGE score over the input texts, ranging from 1 to 5

``` instance_score ```: Invidivual RQUGE score of each instance in the input, ranging from 1 to 5
