# Inspired by https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/blob/main/nemo/collections/common/metrics/perplexity.py
# But we compute the perplexity correctly: exp(average(nll)), not average(exp(nll))
# Also adapted from https://github.com/Lightning-AI/metrics/blob/master/src/torchmetrics/text/perplexity.py
# But we pass in the loss to avoid recomputation
