Leveraging event-based semantics for automated text simplification

作者:

Highlights:

• Event-based automatic text simplification system.

• Lexical and syntactic text simplification with content reduction.

• No need for parallel datasets nor large set of handcrafted simplification rules.

• Proposed simplification system is highly competitive.

• Novel evaluation method based on measuring the postediting effort.
