| Challenge: | lexical simplification is the task of reducing lexically and/or structural complexity of texts. |
| Approach: | They propose to collect manual simplifications for 1,100 original sentences using a sentence-level corpus from the Public Administration domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus contains 1,100 original sentences with manual simplifications collected through a two-stage process. |
