Download or read book Automatic Text Simplification written by Horacio Saggion and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the availability of texts on the Web in recent years, increased knowledge and information have been made available to broader audiences. However, the way in which a text is written—its vocabulary, its syntax—can be difficult to read and understand for many people, especially those with poor literacy, cognitive or linguistic impairment, or those with limited knowledge of the language of the text. Texts containing uncommon words or longand complicated sentences can be difficult to read and understand by people as well as difficult to analyze by machines. Automatic text simplification is the process of transforming a text into another text which, ideally conveying the same message, will be easier to read and understand by a broader audience. The process usually involves the replacement of difficult or unknown phrases with simpler equivalents and the transformation of long and syntactically complex sentences into shorter and less complex ones. Automatic text simplification, a research topic which started 20 years ago, now has taken on a central role in natural language processing research not only because of the interesting challenges it posesses but also because of its social implications. This book presents past and current research in text simplification, exploring key issues including automatic readability assessment, lexical simplification, and syntactic simplification. It also provides a detailed account of machine learning techniques currently used in simplification, describes full systems designed for specific languages and target audiences, and offers available resources for research and development together with text simplification evaluation techniques.

Download or read book Automatic Text Simplification Tools to Provide Reading Assistance for Deaf and Hard of hearing Individuals written by Oliver Alonzo and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Automatic Text Simplification (ATS) consists of computing techniques to rewrite text to make it simpler to read and understand, and prior research has explored its use to provide reading assistance to various user groups who may benefit from reading support. Prior literacy research has identified great diversity in literacy skills among DHH adults, and prior computing accessibility research has identified benefits from providing ATS-based reading assistance to other user groups. Thus, while ATS holds promise to benefit DHH adults, little research has investigated the benefits from, interests in and preferences for such technologies among DHH adults. Thus, this work aims to investigate the use of ATS-based reading assistance to support DHH adult readers. This dissertation is organized in three parts centered around three major contributions: requirement- and interest-gathering, methodological research, and design and evaluation work. Part I of this dissertation focuses on the requirements and interests of DHH adults on ATS-based reading assistance tools. As a relatively new technology, it is still unknown whether DHH adults would be interested in such technologies, what purposes they would be interested in them for, and what personal or technical characteristics may affect their interests. Furthermore, with various approaches to ATS available (e.g. lexical or syntactic approaches), it is unknown which ones would be of interest and/or benefit to DHH adults. Thus, we first explore perspective of DHH adults on ATS-based reading assistance tools. Then, Part II of this dissertation focuses on methodological work on how to evaluate the output of ATS technologies with DHH adults. Prior work on the evaluation of linguistic technologies has identified challenges when evaluating their technologies among DHH adults with varying literacy skill levels. However, it remains unknown if such challenges are also present when evaluating the output of ATS systems among DHH adults. Considering that there are various aspects of the output to evaluate, including its complexity or readability, and its overall quality or fluency, we investigate which metrics can reliably evaluate those characteristics of ATS output among this user group. After establishing interests and evaluation methods for various characteristics of simplified texts, Part III of this dissertation focuses on the design of these tools, and includes evaluations of such tools with DHH adults. We first investigate an exploration of the design space to identify which configurations of the various design parameters may provide more usability to DHH adults, and to understand the rational for their preferences. Using the preferred settings identified, we then conduct an evaluation to investigate the DHH users' preferences and interactions with a system that provides the various capabilities of ATS technologies using realistic output from existing systems."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for using computational text analysis to learn about the social world From social media posts and text messages to digital government documents and archives, researchers are bombarded with a deluge of text reflecting the social world. This textual data gives unprecedented insights into fundamental questions in the social sciences, humanities, and industry. Meanwhile new machine learning tools are rapidly transforming the way science and business are conducted. Text as Data shows how to combine new sources of data, machine learning tools, and social science research design to develop and evaluate new insights. Text as Data is organized around the core tasks in research projects using text—representation, discovery, measurement, prediction, and causal inference. The authors offer a sequential, iterative, and inductive approach to research design. Each research task is presented complete with real-world applications, example methods, and a distinct style of task-focused research. Bridging many divides—computer science and social science, the qualitative and the quantitative, and industry and academia—Text as Data is an ideal resource for anyone wanting to analyze large collections of text in an era when data is abundant and computation is cheap, but the enduring challenges of social science remain. Overview of how to use text as data Research design for a world of data deluge Examples from across the social sciences and industry

This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coh-Metrix is among the broadest and most sophisticated automated textual assessment tools available today. Automated Evaluation of Text and Discourse with Coh-Metrix describes this computational tool, as well as the wide range of language and discourse measures it provides. Part I of the book focuses on the theoretical perspectives that led to the development of Coh-Metrix, its measures, and empirical work that has been conducted using this approach. Part II shifts to the practical arena, describing how to use Coh-Metrix and how to analyze, interpret, and describe results. Coh-Metrix opens the door to a new paradigm of research that coordinates studies of language, corpus analysis, computational linguistics, education, and cognitive science. This tool empowers anyone with an interest in text to pursue a wide array of previously unanswerable research questions.
