| Challenge: | This work describes IteraTeR: the first large-scale, multi-domain, edit-intention annotated corpus of iteratively revised text. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate iteratively revised text using a multi-domain annotated corpus that generalizes to a variety of domains, edit intentions, revision depths, and granularities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves automatic evaluations by integrating edit intentions with writing quality. |
