+ ### Data Fields
101
+
102
+ In the train set you will only find `original` and `simple` sentences. In the validation and test sets you may find `simple1`, `simple2`, ... `simpleN` because a given sentence can have multiple reference simplifications (useful in SARI and BLEU calculations)
103
+
104
+ ### Data Splits
105
+
106
+ The dataset is split into train, validation, and test sets

110
+ ## Dataset Creation
111
+
112
+ ### Curation Rationale
113
+
114
+ I hope that collecting all of these independently useful resources for text simplification together into one benchmark will encourage multilingual work on text simplification!
115
+
116
+ ### Source Data
117
+
118
+ #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
119
+
120
+ Data is compiled from the 27 existing datasets that comprise the MultiSim Benchmark. For details on each of the resources please see Appendix A in the [paper](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.269.pdf).
121
+
122
+ #### Who are the source language producers?
123
+
124
+ Each dataset has different sources. At a high level the sources are: Automatically Collected (ex. Wikipedia, Web data), Manually Collected (ex. annotators asked to simplify sentences), Target Audience Resources (ex. Newsela News Articles), or Translated (ex. Machine translations of existing datasets).
125
+ These sources can be seen in Table 1 pictured above (Section: `Dataset Structure/Data Instances`) and further discussed in section 3 of the [paper](https://aclanthology.org/2023.acl-long.269.pdf). Appendix A of the paper has details on specific resources.
126
+
127
+ ### Annotations
128
+
129
+ #### Annotation process
130
+
131
+ Annotators writing simplifications (only for some datasets) typically follow an annotation guideline. Some example guidelines come from [here](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1410140.1410191), [here](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11168-006-9011-1), and [here](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10579-017-9407-6).
132
+
133
+ #### Who are the annotators?
134
+
135
+ See Table 1 (Section: `Dataset Structure/Data Instances`) for specific annotators per dataset. At a high level the annotators are: writers, translators, teachers, linguists, journalists, crowdworkers, experts, news agencies, medical students, students, writers, and researchers.
136
+
137
+ ### Personal and Sensitive Information
138
+
139
+ No dataset should contain personal or sensitive information. These were previously collected resources primarily collected from news sources, wikipedia, science communications, etc. and were not identified to have personally identifiable information.
140
+
141
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
142
+
143
+ ### Social Impact of Dataset
144
+
145
+ We hope this dataset will make a greatly positive social impact as text simplification is a task that serves children, second language learners, and people with reading/cognitive disabilities. By publicly releasing a dataset in 12 languages we hope to serve these global communities.
146
+ One negative and unintended use case for this data would be reversing the labels to make a "text complification" model. We beleive the benefits of releasing this data outweigh the harms and hope that people use the dataset as intended.
147
+
148
+ ### Discussion of Biases
149
+
150
+ There may be biases of the annotators involved in writing the simplifications towards how they believe a simpler sentence should be written. Additionally annotators and editors have the choice of what information does not make the cut in the simpler sentence introducing information importance bias.
151
+
152
+ ### Other Known Limitations
153
+
154
+ Some of the included resources were automatically collected or machine translated. As such not every sentence is perfectly aligned. Users are recommended to use such individual resources with caution.

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of a Neural Pairwise Ranking Model (NPRM) for sentence-level readability assessment of Italian administrative texts. To deal with data scarcity, we experiment with cross-lingual, cross- and in-domain approaches, and test our models on Admin-It, a new parallel corpus in the Italian administrative language, containing sentences simplified using three different rewriting strategies. We show that NPRMs are effective in zero-shot scenarios ({\textasciitilde}0.78 ranking accuracy), especially with ranking pairs containing simplifications produced by overall rewriting at the sentence-level, and that the best results are obtained by adding in-domain data (achieving perfect performance for such sentence pairs). Finally, we investigate where NPRMs failed, showing that the characteristics of the training data, rather than its size, have a bigger effect on a model{'}s performance.",

The corpus is intended for building automatic text simplification for adult readers. We compare DSim to different examples of monolingual parallel corpora, and we argue that this corpus is a promising basis for future development of automatic data-driven text simplification systems in Danish. The corpus contains both the collection of paired articles and a sentence aligned bitext, and we show that sentence alignment using simple tf*idf weighted cosine similarity scoring is on line with state―of―the―art when evaluated against a hand-aligned sample. The alignment results are compared to state of the art for English sentence alignment. We finally compare the source and simplified sides of the corpus in terms of lexical and syntactic characteristics and readability, and find that the one―to―many sentence aligned corpus is representative of the sentence simplifications observed in the unaligned collection of article pairs.",

The simplifications have been produced according to a well-documented set of guidelines. We then report on experiments in automatically simplifying the German news items using state-of-the-art neural machine translation techniques. We demonstrate that despite our small parallel corpus, our neural models were able to learn essential features of simplified language, such as lexical substitutions, deletion of less relevant words and phrases, and sentence shortening.",

They are essential for the task of automatic text simplification, but can also provide valuable insights into the characteristics that make texts more accessible and reveal strategies that human experts use to simplify texts. Today, there exist a few parallel datasets for English and Simple English, but many other languages lack such data. In this paper we describe our work on creating an aligned Russian-Simple Russian dataset composed of Russian literature texts adapted for learners of Russian as a foreign language. This will be the first parallel dataset in this domain, and one of the first Simple Russian datasets in general.",

The corpus is compiled from web sources and consists of parallel as well as monolingual-only (simplified German) data amounting to approximately 6,200 documents (nearly 211,000 sentences). As a unique feature, the corpus contains information on text structure (e.g., paragraphs, lines), typography (e.g., font type, font style), and images (content, position, and dimensions). While the importance of considering such information in machine learning tasks involving simplified language, such as readability assessment, has repeatedly been stressed in the literature, we provide empirical evidence for its benefit. We also demonstrate the added value of leveraging monolingual-only data for automatic text simplification via machine translation through applying back-translation, a data augmentation technique.",

Then, we train neural models on these parallel corpora using different ratios of general and specialized sentences. We evaluate the results with BLEU, SARI and Kandel scores. The results point out that little specialized data helps significantly the simplification.",
