Signals: Recent

What still needs checking

Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.

Signal confidence: 0.35

Abstract

A Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) system produces a sequence of edits to correct an erroneous sentence. The quality of these edits is typically evaluated against human annotations. However, a sentence may admit multiple valid corrections, and existing evaluation settings do not fully accommodate diverse application scenarios. Recent meta-evaluation approaches rely on human judgments across multiple references, but they are difficult to scale to large datasets. In this paper, we propose a new task, Scoring Edit Impact in GEC, which aims to automatically estimate the importance of edits produced by a GEC system. To address this task, we introduce a scoring framework based on an embedded association graph. The graph captures latent dependencies among edits and syntactically related edits, grouping them into coherent groups. We then perform perplexity-based scoring to estimate each edit's contribution to sentence fluency. Experiments across 4 GEC datasets, 4 languages, and 4 GEC systems demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms a range of baselines. Further analysis shows that the embedded association graph effectively captures cross-linguistic structural dependencies among edits.
