Despite recent advances, evaluating how well large language models (LLMs) follow user instructions remains an open problem.

We use a novel active learning framework that allows models to be tailored to individuals and release a dataset of complexity annotations and models as a benchmark for further research.

Lexical complexity is a highly subjective notion, yet this factor is often neglected in lexical simplification and readability systems which use a {''}one-size-fits-all{''} approach.

Judging the readability of text has many important applications, for instance when performing text simplification or when sourcing reading material for language learners.

In this work, we re-annotate the Complex Word Identification Shared Task 2018 dataset of Yimam et al. (2017), which provides complexity scores for a range of lexemes, with the types of MWEs.

This paper presents a novel architecture for recursive context-aware lexical simplification, REC-LS, that is capable of (1) making use of the wider context when detecting the words in need of simplification and suggesting alternatives, and (2) taking previous simplification steps into account.

Lexical simplification systems replace complex words with simple ones based on a model of which words are complex in context.
