Since Catalan is a medium-resource language and data acquisition is already a challenge, binary filtering will limit us in terms of the amount of data. By providing a score, we are able to easily filter the corpus according to any requirement.

- (2) **Neutral scoring**. As opposed to ML-based filtering, we use simple rules and heuristics to avoid introducing further bias into the model ([Dodge et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08758); [Welbl et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07445)). We only use [FastText](https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/language-identification.html) to reject documents in other languages.

During development, we performed comparative judgment experiments to evaluate the usefulness of the scoring from the [CURATE](https://github.com/langtech-bsc/corpus-cleaner-v2) pipeline, which is intended for further filtering and analysis. We found a moderate correlation between the score and the perceived quality of the text. Our main goal was to maximize the usability of the corpus without getting into a trade-off between quantity and quality.
