Flesch and Dale-Chall Readability Measures for INEX 2011 Question-Answering Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
For INEX 2011 QA track, we wanted to measure the impact of two generic measures of readability in the selection of sentences related to topics. This is a step towards adaptive information retrieval approaches that take into account the reading skills of users and their level of expertise. We show that Flesch and Dale-Chall measures do not allow to filter sentences for obtaining a satisfactory readability level for INEX QA 2011 track and that the corresponding scores are not correlated to human assessment.
