- Abstract
- For poor-readers and dyslexic children, reading is often a pitfall to social integration and academic progress. The school support of these children usually requires adapted texts, specialised glossaries and dedicated management tools. In this paper, we propose a method which exploits French lexical resources to automatically simplify words in order to provide adapted texts. Despite the difficulty of the task, the conducted evaluations show that the proposed methodology yields better results than the state of the art word2vec techniques for lexical simplification.
