Document Simplification

Document simplification aims to rewrite complex texts into easier-to-understand versions, primarily benefiting individuals with reading difficulties and improving accessibility. Current research focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) and developing new evaluation metrics that move beyond simple accuracy measures to assess the quality and meaning preservation of simplified text, including the analysis of specific edits made during simplification. This field is significant for advancing natural language processing and creating more inclusive access to information across various domains, from medical texts to news articles.
