What does this mean: "For the first time, reviewers will have data about user intent."?

The collaboration team is working on new filters for recent changes that use ORES predictions models. That way, reviewers will be able to help newcomers who do edits in good faith but do mistakes or to focus on edits that are clear vandalism.

Thanks! But would it be better to call that automatic classification of quality than user intent? No matter either way.

Well, you can have a low quality wording with a good source, which is better than a high quality wording with no source or a bad one.

The intent from the first case is better while the quality of the second one is higher, as documented on ORES page (IIRC).
