文档级文本简化要求大语言模型在保留语义、可读性和篇章连贯性的前提下重写复杂文档。尽管基于提示的模型已展现良好性能,但仅靠文字指令难以提供充分指导,常导致简化结果不一致。本文探究是否可通过从平行简化语料库中检索相关简化案例,增强提示来改进生成效果。该示例引导提示方法使模型无需任务微调即可利用已有简化模式。在OneStopEnglish数据集上使用多个前沿大模型的实验表明,引入检索到的示例能持续提升简化质量,表现优于纯提示生成,并达到或超过代表性监督方法(T5)与规划型系统(PlanSimp)的水平。此外,我们发现不同模型从示例中获益程度不同,表明有效利用检索示例依赖于模型生成时整合上下文信息的能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Document-level text simplification requires large language models (LLMs) to rewrite complex documents while preserving meaning, readability, and discourse coherence. Although prompt-based LLMs have shown promising performance, they often produce inconsistent simplifications because textual instructions alone provide limited guidance for complex document-level transformations. We investigate whether retrieved document-simplification examples can improve document-level generation by augmenting prompts with examples selected from a parallel simplification corpus. This example-guided prompting approach enables LLMs to exploit relevant simplification patterns without task-specific fine-tuning. Experiments on the OneStopEnglish corpus using multiple state-of-the-art LLMs show that incorporating retrieved examples consistently improves simplification quality over prompt-only generation and achieves competitive or superior performance compared with representative supervised (T5) and planning-based (PlanSimp) document simplification systems. Furthermore, we find that the benefits of example-guided prompting vary across LLMs, suggesting that effective use of retrieved examples depends on a model's ability to integrate contextual information during generation.
