This PR adds a basic TextGeneration evaluator. For the moment it's set up to use word_count as the default metric, but I think ideally it would use perplexity. The issue with perplexity is that the measurement requires a model_id (model name or path) passed to it, which wouldn't work with the Evaluator API since it should support running evaluations on models that are already instantiated in memory. (The model being evaluated might not be saved locally, if it's been modified in-code.)

I can open a second PR to modify perplexity to optionally accept instantiated models? Then I can make perplexity the default metric here.

The other metric that this is useful for is HONEST, although that requires some more small changes to get metric init_kwargs passed down from the Evaluators to the metrics. I'll be opening up another PR soon for that. (EDIT: Opened it here #351)

NOTE: I also changed the base .compute() return signature to fix some IDE warnings.

Uses word_count as default metric for the moment
Not relevant for this PR. Instead useful for perplexity, in a
future PR.

Thanks @NimaBoscarino for adding this - looks great to me! Left a few questions/remarks.

why is this necessary?

The TextGeneration Evaluator's predictions_processor method has a different signature than the base Evaluator's one, which means that without adding this IDEs will complain about mismatched signatures. I did this following this pattern: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54155637

To solve the perplexity issue we could just make gpt2 the default model so it's a kwarg instead of arg.

Not sure I understand – gpt2 would be the default value for model_or_pipeline for the TextGenerationEvaluator's compute method?

No, I meant we can update the perplexity metric to have a default value for the model (gpt2) so it works easily with the Evaluator. What do you think?

Oh! Sure, that sounds good to me. I think that one of the basic requirements for perplexity is that it also needs the ability to receive the actual model itself as well, so I'll make sure that's possible and I'll also include that as an option in the TextGenerationEvaluator here. I'll open a separate PR for the perplexity change.

LGTM! Let's fix perplexity so we can use it a useful default and then merge this, ok?

Merged for now and we can fix PPL later.
