- This paper proposes a unified representation for manually written and automatically acquired rules and implements a hybrid text simplification system, marking a point of departure from existing systems that are either manually constructed or purely data-driven. EACL is a top conference for Computational Linguistics (EACL2014 acceptance rate: 24.6%). The paper led to three keynote speeches on text simplification within a year, at the ATS-MA workshop at COLING 2014, PROPOR 2014 and the 2015 Louvain Workshop on Measuring Linguistic Complexity. Citation analysis shows several groups adopting our proposal for hybrid text simplification, for English, Italian, Swedish, French and Spanish.
