Readability assessment is the task of evaluating the reading difficulty of a given piece of text.
Although research on computational approaches to readability assessment is now two …

Readability assessment can play a role in the evaluation of a simplification algorithm as well
as in the identification of what to simplify. While some previous research used traditional …

To succeed in the information age, students need to learn to communicate their
understanding of complex topics effectively. This is reflected in both educational standards …

This paper presents a study on text complexity of Open Educational Resources (OER) in
Brazilian Portuguese. In a data analysis of the Brazilian Ministry of Education Integrated …

Encouraging disclosure is important for the patent system, yet the technical information in
patent applications is often inadequate. We use algorithms from computational linguistics to …

Natural language processing (NLP) tools are often developed with the intention of easing
human processing, a goal which is hard to measure. Eye movements in reading are known …

Computational approaches to readability assessment are generally built and evaluated
using gold standard corpora labeled by publishers or teachers rather than being grounded …

The role of alignment between interlocutors in second language learning is different to that
in fluent conversational dialogue. Learners gain linguistic skill through increased alignment …

We investigate the linguistic complexity of oral classroom interactions in late primary and
early secondary school across German school types. The goal is to explore whether …

This article studies the relationship between text readability indice and automatic machine
