构建多语言易读文本语料库，助力民主参与信息可及性
A Multilingual Human Annotated Corpus of Original and Easy-to-Read Texts to Support Access to Democratic Participatory Processes
- 人工标注西班牙、加泰罗尼亚、意大利语原稿与易读版对应文本
- 首个加泰罗尼亚语易读文本语料库，含多种相关主题文本类型
- 适用于提升低资源语言的文本简化研究，适合政策与社会技术研究者
理解信息是实现自主生活与社会参与的关键。然而自动文本简化研究受限于高质量训练与评估材料，尤其在西班牙语、加泰罗尼亚语和意大利语等低资源语言中更为严重。为此，我们基于iDEM项目，构建了一个涵盖这三种语言的原始文本语料库，所有文本均由专家按易读（E2R）标准进行人工简化。文本来源为与民主参与相关的领域，经筛选确保相关性、版权合规与伦理标准。语料库包含多种文本类型，且首次为加泰罗尼亚语提供此类人工标注资源，对西班牙语和意大利语亦具重要贡献。该语料库将免费向公众开放。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Being able to understand information is a key factor for a self-determined life and society. It is also very important for participating in democratic processes. The study of automatic text simplification is often limited by the availability of high quality material for the training and evaluation on automatic simplifiers. This is true for English, but more so for less resourced languages like Spanish, Catalan and Italian. In order to fill this gap, we present a corpus of original texts for these 3 languages, with high quality simplification produced by human experts in text simplification. It was developed within the iDEM project to assess the impact of Easy-to-Read (E2R) language for democratic participation. The original texts were compiled from domains related to this topic. The corpus includes different text types, selected based on relevance, copyright availability, and ethical standards. All texts were simplified to E2R level. The corpus is particularity valuable because it includes the first annotated corpus of its kind for the Catalan language. It also represents a noteworthy contribution for Spanish and Italian, offering high-quality, human-annotated language resources that are rarely available in these domains. The corpus will be made freely accessible to the public.
