Multi-Word Lexical Simplification (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In text simplification, individual words are replaced with their simpler equivalents, but single word substitutions do not cover the full complexity of techniques humans use to approach text simulating. |
| Approach: | They propose a task of multi-word lexical simplification in which a sentence is made easier to understand by replacing its fragment with a simpler alternative. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is based on a purpose-trained neural language model and evaluates against human and resource-based baselines. |
