Abstract

Millions of texts are produced every day in our society, and the aim of this research is to make them easier to understand. In fact, many of them are not accessible due to their complexity for people with cognitive disabilities or foreign language learners among others. Extracting information from complex texts is also difficult for Natural Language Processing applications. To overcome the problems text complexity causes, in this PhD. thesis we have analysed the readability of Basque texts and we have made a proposal to simplify the complex ones automatically.
