metric
description: The Symbol Distance Metric is a novel evaluation metric specifically designed for SignWriting,  a visual writing system for signed languages. Unlike traditional string-based metrics (e.g., BLEU, chrF),  this metric directly considers the visual and spatial properties of individual symbols used in SignWriting,  such as base shape, orientation, rotation, and position. It is primarily used to evaluate model outputs in  SignWriting transcription and translation tasks, offering a similarity score between a predicted and a reference sign.
