Text simplification, defined narrowly, is the process of reducing the linguistic complexity of a
text, while still retaining the original information and meaning. More broadly, text …

Simple Wikipedia has dominated simplification research in the past 5 years. In this opinion
paper, we argue that focusing on Wikipedia limits simplification research. We back up our …

It has now been 50 years since the publication of Luhn's seminal paper on automatic
summarization. During these years the practical need for automatic summarization has …

We present an LSTM approach to deletion-based sentence compression where the task is to
translate a sentence into a sequence of zeros and ones, corresponding to token deletion …

A system that can produce informative summaries, highlighting common information found in
many online documents, will help Web users to pinpoint information that they need without …

Textual information in the form of digital documents quickly accumulates to create huge
amounts of data. The majority of these documents are unstructured: it is unrestricted text and …

Syntactic simplification is the process of reducing the grammatical complexity of a text, while
retaining its information content and meaning. The aim of syntactic simplification is to make …

Sentence compression holds promise for many applications ranging from summarization to
subtitle generation. Our work views sentence compression as an optimization problem and …

This work surveys existing evaluation methodologies for the task of sentence compression,
identifies their shortcomings, and proposes alternatives. In particular, we examine the …

We present an approach to statistical machine translation that combines ideas from phrase-
based SMT and traditional grammar-based MT. Our system incorporates the concept of multi …
