""" Span-specific IAA metrics. Span annotations are unusual: annotators can disagree on (a) **where** spans go (unitization / boundary detection) and (b) **what label** each span carries (categorization). Token-level kappa and exact-match F1 only capture part of this picture, which is why dedicated metrics exist: - **Token-level Cohen / Fleiss kappa** via BIO conversion — simple, intuitive, but penalizes near-misses harshly and ignores spans of differing lengths. - **Span F1 (exact, partial)** — IR-style; classic in NER literature (MUC, CoNLL, SemEval). - **Krippendorff's alpha_U (unitizing alpha)** — Krippendorff 2018; treats each character/token as a unit and accounts for both boundary and categorical disagreement. - **Gamma (Mathet et al. 2015)** — state-of-the-art unified measure that jointly handles unit alignment + categorization via the Hungarian algorithm. All inputs are ``SpanAnnotation``-like objects with ``start``, ``end``, and ``name`` (label) attributes — or plain dicts/tuples with the same fields.
