A new paper accepted to ACL reveals that existing automatic readability assessment methods, including LLMs, are poor predictors of actual human reading ease.
Using eye-tracking-based cognitive evaluation, the authors found that these automated metrics significantly diverge from real human cognitive reading experiences.
