#1 Sentence Alignment Methods for Improving Text Simplification Systems [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi1]

Authors: Sanja Štajner ; Marc Franco-Salvador ; Simone Paolo Ponzetto ; Paolo Rosso ; Heiner Stuckenschmidt

We provide several methods for sentence-alignment of texts with different complexity levels. Using the best of them, we sentence-align the Newsela corpora, thus providing large training materials for automatic text simplification (ATS) systems. We show that using this dataset, even the standard phrase-based statistical machine translation models for ATS can outperform the state-of-the-art ATS systems.
