UNT-SimpRank: Systems for Lexical Simplification Ranking
Ravi Sinha · 2012
This paper presents three systems that took part in the lexical simplification task at SE-MEVAL 2012. Speculating on what the concept of simplicity might mean for a word, the systems apply different approaches to rank the given candidate lists. One of the systems performs second-best (statistically significant) and another one performs third-best out of 9 systems and 3 baselines. Notably, the thirdbest system is very close to the second-best, and at the same time much more resource-light in comparison. 1
