Granuscore: A Reference-Free Measure of Granularity for Text Analysis and Question Answering
arXiv:2605.26620v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language conveys information at varying levels of granularity, from fine-grained references to broad descriptions. While granularity is fundamental to human communication, existing measures mostly capture surface detail or sentence specificity. We introduce Granuscore, a reference-free measure of granularity that leverages structural properties of a hierarchical embedding space. Granuscore reliably recovers hierarchical orderings on the Granola-EQ dataset and captures expected differences in granularity across discourse contexts. Across d
The proliferation of advanced AI models has amplified the need for more nuanced and accurate text analysis, especially in complex applications like question answering.
A robust, reference-free measure of granularity could significantly improve the performance and interpretability of large language models and other NLP systems.
This research introduces Granuscore, a new metric that allows AI to better understand and generate text at appropriate levels of detail, moving beyond surface-level analysis.
