DEplain: A corpus for German Text SimplificationThis repository contains the corpus called DEplain-APA for German text simplification (document and sentence simplification). The corpus contains Austrian nexts text provided by the APA - Austria Presse Agentur eG. All of the sentence-wise aligned pairs (complex-simple) are manually aligned. The following table summarizes the most important meta data of the corpus. meta data value language DE-AT (Austrian German) domain news source language level B1 target language level A2 # document pairs (total, train/dev/test) 483 (387/48/48) # sentence pairs (total, train/dev/test) 13,122 (10,660/1,231/1,231) # complex sentences 25,607 # simple sentences 26,471 Updates: Version 1.2: More system outputs are added. For comparisons of your models with existing models, please have a look at ./DEPlain/G__Automatic_Text_Simplification_Experiments/generated_outputs/sentence-level.
