(2004). Instead of keeping one minimal derivation per sentence pair, it builds a forest of many derivations, so that larger rules with more syntactic context and alternative readings of unaligned words are all available. It puts probabilities on these multi-level… 2. **[AbLit: A Resource for Analyzing and Generating Abridged Versions of English Literature](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/roemmele-2023-ablit-resource-analyzing-generating-abridged/)** *(2023 · 2 citations)* The paper treats abridgement as an NLP task for the first time. Abridgement means shortening a book while keeping its wording and style. It differs from abstractive summarization, which rewrites heavily, and from simplification, which usually works on single sentences. The authors build AbLit from ten public-domain… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
