Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of automatic text simplification. Automatic text simplifications aims at reducing the reading difficulty for people with cognitive disability, among other target groups. We describe an automatic text simplification system for Spanish which combines a rule based core module with a statistical support module that controls the application of rules in the wrong contexts. Our system is integrated in a service architecture which includes a web service and mobile applications.
