However,\nsuch correlation studies are costly, methodologically troublesome, and suffer\nfrom low inter-rater agreement. We propose MAEGE, an automatic methodology for\nGEC metric validation, that overcomes many of the difficulties with existing\npractices. Experiments with \\maege\\ shed a new light on metric quality, showing\nfor example that the standard $M^2$ metric fares poorly on corpus-level\nranking. Moreover, we use MAEGE to perform a detailed analysis of metric\nbehavior, showing that correcting some types of errors is consistently\npenalized by existing metrics.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.11225v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.11225v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"automatic-metric-validation-for-grammatical","repo_url":"https://github.com/borgr/EoE","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"grammatical-error-correction","task_name":"Grammatical Error Correction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1804.11225","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
