For the Sake of Simplicity: Unsupervised Extraction of Lexical Simplifications from Wikipedia - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Mark Yatskar, Bo Pang, Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-mizil and Lillian Lee.
Overview
Autors report on work in progress on extracting lexical simplifications (e.g., "collaborate" → "work together"), focusing on utilizing edit histories in Simple English Wikipedia for this task. Authors consider two main approaches: (1) deriving simplification probabilities via an edit model that accounts for a mixture of different operations, and (2) using metadata to focus on edits that are more likely to be simplification operations. Authors find their methods to outperform a reasonable baseline and yield many high-quality lexical simplifications not included in an independently-created manually prepared list.
