Unsupervised Sentence Simplification Using Deep Semantics
Shashi Narayan, Claire Gardent · 2016
We present a novel approach to sentence simplification which departs from previous work in two main ways.First, it requires neither hand written rules nor a training corpus of aligned standard and simplified sentences.Second, sentence splitting operates on deep semantic structure.We show (i) that the unsupervised framework we propose is competitive with four state-of-the-art supervised systems and (ii) that our semantic based approach allows for a principled and effective handling of sentence splitting.
