arXiv:2606.07057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating the quality of automatically generated keyphrases remains a complex challenge. Traditional metrics either rely on exact lexical matching or consider semantic similarity while ignoring prediction ranking, both of which misalign with how humans judge informativeness and relevance. We introduce Semantic R-Precision (SemR-p), a novel evaluation metric that integrates semantic similarity into the rank-aware R-Precision framework. Designed from a human-centric perspective and inspired by Information Retrieval metrics, SemR-p rewards semant
The proliferation of automated text generation and keyphrase extraction models has created an urgent need for more accurate and human-aligned evaluation metrics.
This new metric provides a more nuanced and human-centric way to evaluate AI-generated keyphrases, which is critical for improving the performance and utility of various NLP applications.
The standard for evaluating keyphrase extraction will shift from purely lexical or rank-agnostic semantic methods to a combined, rank-aware semantic approach.
