Linguistic Accuracy Metric

A Linguistic Accuracy Metric is an accuracy metric that is a linguistically-informed metric that can support linguistic evaluation tasks by categorizing output elements into linguistic types.

• AKA: Linguistically-Enhanced Metric, Type-Based Accuracy Metric, Categorical Linguistic Metric, Grammar-Aware Metric.
• Context:
  • It can typically classify System Outputs into linguistic categorys.
  • It can typically compute Type-Specific Scores for categorical performance.
  • It can typically identify Morphological Features, syntactic structures, and lexical propertys.
  • It can typically generate Linguistic Error Distributions from system analysis.
  • It can typically provide Fine-Grained Feedback on linguistic phenomenona.
  • ...
  • It can often employ Linguistic Rules for category assignment.
  • It can often use Part-of-Speech Tags in type classification.
  • It can often leverage Syntactic Parses for structural analysis.
  • It can often apply Morphological Analyzers for form examination.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Coarse-Grained Linguistic Accuracy Metric to being a Fine-Grained Linguistic Accuracy Metric, depending on its type granularity.
  • It can range from being a Rule-Based Linguistic Accuracy Metric to being a ML-Based Linguistic Accuracy Metric, depending on its classification approach.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Linguistic Analyzer for feature extraction.
  • It can interface with Parser for syntactic processing.
  • It can connect to Linguistic Taxonomy for type mapping.
  • It can synchronize with NLP Pipeline for annotation generation.
  • It can communicate with Report Generator for detailed breakdown.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Error Correction Linguistic Accuracy Metrics, such as:
    • Grammatical Error Correction Linguistic Accuracy Metrics like ERRANT.
    • Spelling Correction Linguistic Accuracy Metrics with error categorization.
  • Machine Translation Linguistic Accuracy Metrics, such as:
    • Morphology-Aware MT Metrics for inflection accuracy.
    • Syntax-Based MT Metrics for structural preservation.
  • Parsing Linguistic Accuracy Metrics, such as:
    • Labeled Attachment Score for dependency parsing.
    • Bracketing F-Score for constituency parsing.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Surface-Form Metric, which ignores linguistic structure.
  • Semantic Similarity Metric, which focuses on meaning rather than linguistic type.
  • Perplexity Metric, which measures model fit rather than linguistic accuracy.
