Casual as an Anchor: Resolving Supervision Misalignment in Formality Transfer Dataset arXiv:2605.29365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Formality transfer is commonly framed as a symmetric bidirectional task between informal and formal registers. We argue that this framing conceals a supervision design flaw in existing benchmarks such as GYAFC: binary human rewrites encode relative stylistic shifts rather than absolute human notions of formality. Consequently, models learn to generate pseudo-
