Abstract

This paper presents a text simplification method that transforms complex sentences into simplified forms. Our method uses NLP-techniques to simplify the text based on the target audience context, improving its overall understandability. We evaluate our approach in two aspects: grammatical structure and understandability. In both aspects, our approach achieved good results, showing its applicability to the learning process.
