The article at hand aggregates the work of our group in automatic processing simplified German. We present four parallel (standard/simplified German) corpora compiled and curated by group. report on creation a gold standard sentence alignments from sources for evaluating alignment methods this standard. show that one performs best majority data sources. used two as basis first sentence-based ne...

in this contribution, linearized dynamic model of cumulative mass fraction (cmf) of potassium nitrate-water seeded continues mixed suspension mixed product removal (cmsmpr) crystallizer is approximated by a simplified model in frequency domain. frequency domain model simplification is performed heuristically using the frequency response of the derived linearized models data. however, the cmf fr...

In the context of NLP tasks such as text simplification, lexicons containing information about semantically related words are an important resource for evaluating the quality of the system output. Existing resources containing lexical substitutes have been built with a focus on single words. In this paper, we present a lexical substitution dataset for Portuguese nominal compounds. The compounds...

We present a language technology service for web editors’ work on making texts easier to understand, including tools for text complexity analysis, text simplification and text summarization. We also present a text analysis service focusing on measures of text complexity.

The medical area conveys very specific terms (p. ex., blepharospasm, appendicectomy), which are difficult to understand by people without medical training. We propose an automatic method for the acquisition of paraphrases, which we expect to be easier to understand than the original terms. The method is based on the morphological analysis of terms, syntactic analysis of texts, and text mining o...

Anscombe and Aumann showed that if one accepts the existence of a physical randomizing device such as a roulette wheel then Savage's derivation of subjective expected utility can be considerably simplified. They, however, invoked compound gambles to define their axioms. We demonstrate that the subjective expected utility derivation can be further simplified and need not invoke compound gambles....
