USim operates by comparing the semantic symbolic\nstructure of the source and the correction, without relying on manually-curated\nreferences. Our experiments establish the validity of USim, by showing that (1)\nsemantic annotation can be consistently applied to ungrammatical text; (2)\nvalid corrections obtain a high USim similarity score to the source; and (3)\ninvalid corrections obtain a lower score.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03824v4","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03824v4.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":"reference-less-measure-of-faithfulness-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/borgr/USim","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"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"valid"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1804.03824","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1804.03824","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
