A Corpus for Automatic Readability Assessment and Text Simplification of German

LREC 2020  ·  Alessia Battisti, Sarah Ebling ·

In this paper, we present a corpus for use in automatic readability assessment and automatic text simplification of German. The corpus is compiled from web sources and consists of approximately 211,000 sentences. As a novel contribution, it contains information on text structure, typography, and images, which can be exploited as part of machine learning approaches to readability assessment and text simplification. The focus of this publication is on representing such information as an extension to an existing corpus standard.
