An-Vinh Luong, Diep Nguyen, Điền Đinh · 2018

Text readability has a huge impact on the reading ability and fully understand the text. Studies on the difficulty of the text have long been concerned in English and some other popular languages. In Vietnamese, there are very few studies on the degree of difficulty of the text, and most of them have been done more than three decades ago.

The experimental results show that proposed method remarkably improves the accuracy of the assessing.
