Simple PPDB: A Paraphrase Database for Simplification
We release the Simple Paraphrase Database, a subset of of the Paraphrase Database (PPDB) adapted for the task of text simplification. We train a supervised model to associate simplification scores with each phrase pair, producing rankings competitive with state of theart lexical simplification models.
