Papers with monolingual translation task
Controllable Text Simplification with Lexical Constraint Loss (P19-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models that only consider the sentence level generate words beyond the target level. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to control the level of a sentence in a text simplification task . they add the target grade level as input and weight words in the loss function . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves both BLEU and SARI scores and achieves aggressive rewriting. |
Klexikon: A German Dataset for Joint Summarization and Simplification (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Traditionally, Text Simplification is a monolingual translation task where individual sentences are "translated" into a simplified version. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to jointly simplify long source documents by combining sentences from a source and their simplified counterparts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can summarize and simplify long source documents using almost 2,900 documents. |
Elaborative Simplification as Implicit Questions Under Discussion (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automated text simplification is often thought of as a monolingual translation task . this view fails to account for elaborative simplification, where new information is added into the simplified text. |
| Approach: | They propose to view elaborative simplification through the lens of the Question Under Discussion framework . they propose to model 1.3K elongations accompanied by implicit QUDs to investigate what writers elaborate upon . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework provides a robust way to investigate what writers elaborate upon, how they elaborate, and how elaborations fit into the discourse context. |
