Install Rouge and Pyrouge for python 2.7 (conda virtual env) on Linux 64

Who to complain to about this terrible package???? Its official website was down, its bugs and exceptions are famous, and its python wrapper code has errors...But everyone  use it for summarization tasks. Not cool at all.

忍不住吐槽,Rouge,一个连官网都关闭了的,纯靠遗产继承的,超级史诗级烂尾工程,还那么多人用.....

pyrouge安装了之后报错居然改代码搞定的,你特么没弄好就别发布行不行?

Install Rouge and Pyrouge

Step 1: Create a new conda virtual env

conda create -n py27env python=2.7 pip

source activate py27env

# use " source deactivate" to deactivate the env

Step 2: Install pyrouge by conda from 3rd party

conda install -c auto pyrouge

Step 3: Download ROUGE-1.5.5 from its closed website by using a time machine (ask Einstein or go to Github), then copy ROUGE-1.5.5 to ~/rouge_path

cp RELEASE-1.5.5 ~/rouge/

Step 4: Set ROUGE path for pyrouge

pyrouge_set_rouge_path ~/rouge/RELEASE-1.5.5

Step 5: Install plugins for ROUGE-1.5.5

sudo cpan App::cpanminus

sudo cpanm XML::DOM

Step 6: Deal with Wordnet exceptions for ROUGE-1.5.5 (f**k)

cd ~/rouge/RELEASE-1.5.5/data/WordNet-2.0-Exceptions/

./buildExeptionDB.pl . exc WordNet-2.0.exc.db

cd ../

ln -s WordNet-2.0-Exceptions/WordNet-2.0.exc.db WordNet-2.0.exc.db

Step 7: Deal with test code errors for pyrouge (f**k AGAIN!)

In Rouge155_test.py file, you should modify two lines (refhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/41382391):

vi ~/.anaconda3/envs/py27env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyrouge/tests/Rouge155_test.py

modify

"pyrouge_evaluate_plain_text_files.py -m {} -s {} -sfp "

to

"pyrouge_evaluate_plain_text_files -m {} -s {} -sfp "

And, modify

"pyrouge_write_config_file.py -m {m} -s {s} " 

to

"pyrouge_write_config_file -m {m} -s {s} " 

Step 8: Run test until "OK" appears.

>python -m pyrouge.test

Ran 10 tests in 10.583s

OK

Done.
