Pygamma-agreement

Package Version Supported Python Version Build Status Documentation Status status

pygamma-agreement is an open-source package to measure Inter/Intra-annotator1 agreement for sequences of annotations with the γ measure2. It is written in Python3 and based mostly on NumPy, Numba and pyannote.core. For a full list of available functions, please refer to the package documentation.

Alignment Example

Dependencies

The main dependencies of pygamma-agreement are NumPy, CVXPY, Numba and pyannote.core.

Optionally, to allow pygamma-agreement to display visual representations of our API's objects in Jupyter Notebooks, Matplotlib is needed.

pygamma-agreement is a Python 3 package and is currently tested for Python 3.7 to 3.11. pygamma-agreement does not work with Python 2.7.

Installation

pygamma-agreement can be easily installed using pip :

$ pip install pygamma-agreement

Pygamma-agreement uses the GNU Linear Programming Kit as its default Mixed Integer Programming solver (critical step of the gamma-agreement algorithm). Since it is quite slow, you can install the CBC solver and its official python API. To use those in pygamma-agreement, simply install them:

  • Ubuntu/Debian : $ sudo apt install coinor-libcbc-dev
  • Fedora : $ sudo yum install coin-or-Cbc-devel
  • Arch Linux : $ sudo pacman -S coin-or-cbc
  • Mac OS X :
    • $ brew tap coin-or-tools/coinor
    • $ brew install coin-or-tools/coinor/cbc pkg-config

then:

$ pip install "pygamma-agreement[CBC]"

If you have trouble during the two last steps, pygamma-agreement should work anyway, although significantly slower for larger input.

WARNING: A bug in GLPK causes the standard output to be polluted by non-deactivable messages. It is strongly advised to use the CBC solver.

Tests

The package comes with a unit-tests suite. To run it, first install the CBC solver, then the testing dependencies on your Python environment:

$ sudo apt install coinor-libcbc-dev
$ pip install "pygamma-agreement[testing]"

After that, tests are ready to be launched (they take ~2m on a recent laptop) :

$ pytest tests/

Documentation

The documentation for this package has been written using Sphinx. To build the documentation locally, run:

$ pip install "pygamma-agreement[docs]"
$ cd docs/
$ make html

After that, you can view the documentation by running

$ firefox build/html/index.html
