Description

PaCCSS-IT is a corpus of Complex-Simple Aligned Sentences for Italian of about 63,000 pairs of sentences extracted from the ItWaC corpus, the largest copy-right free corpus of contemporary Italian web texts. To build the resource was developed a new approach for automatically acquiring large corpora of paired sentences containing structural transformations able to intercept structural transformations (such as deletion, reordering, etc.) and particularly suitable for text simplification.
