Text Coherence Scoring — Local Coherence Modeling

Text coherence scoring computes a document-level coherence score with machine learning, rooted in the entity-based local coherence model introduced by Barzilay and Lapata (2008). It measures how well the sentences of a text hang together, using either an entity-grid model, a graph-based approach, or a transformer-based model.
