Meeting Description:

Workshop READI at LREC 2022:
The workshop aims at presenting current state-of-the-art techniques and
achievements for text simplification together with existing reading aids and
resources for lifelong learning. The materials are addressed to children
struggling with difficulties in learning to read, to the community of
teachers, speech-language pathologists and parents seeking solutions, but also
to those professionals involved with adults struggling with reading
(illiterates, aphasic readers, low vision readers, etc.).

The workshop will address the issue from a variety of domains and languages,
including natural language processing, linguistics, psycholinguistics,
psychophysics of vision, and education.

The workshop will act as a stimulus for the discussion of several ongoing
research questions driving current and future research by bringing together
researchers from various research communities involved with tackling
difficulties in reading.


2nd Call for Papers:

This workshop invites participation from individuals with experience and/or
interest in text adaptation or in other technologies to improve reading or to
facilitate readability. The general idea is to stimulate discussion on
different ongoing research questions concerning solutions to leverage document
accessibility. By bringing together researchers from various research
communities, we aim to address the issue from different angles.

Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Technologies and resources for enhancing the training and reading capacities
- Educational devices for reading
- Theoretical frameworks for text adaptation
- Resources for text adaptation (corpora, lexicons)
- Empirical validation of textual adaptations
- Assessment of text difficulty (readability)
- Complex word identification
- Generation of simple texts from textual data
- Automatic text simplification, including:
* Lexical simplification
* Syntactic simplification
* Discourse simplification
* Evaluation procedures and measures in text adaptation
* Meaning representation in text adaptation

Instructions:
- Submissions are expected to be between a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8
pages in length, references included.
- All submissions must be formatted following the LREC style guidelines
