Lexical Complexity Prediction: An Overview
ACM Computing Surveys, 2023 The occurrence of unknown words in texts significantly hinders reading comprehension. To improve accessibility for specific target populations, computational modeling has been applied to identify complex words in texts and substitute them for simpler alternatives. In this article, we present an overview of computational approaches to lexical complexity
