Is this Sentence Difficult? Do you Agree? (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a crowdsourcing-based approach to model sentence complexity is proposed . word-level predictors shown to correlate with greater processing difficulties are e.g. word frequency, age of acquisition, root frequency effect, orthographic neighbourhood frequency . |
| Approach: | They propose a crowdsourcing-based approach to model human perception of sentence complexity using a corpus of sentences rated with judgments of complexity for two typologically-different languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model predicts agreement among annotators independently from the assigned judgment and the perception of sentence complexity in Italian and English. |
