Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical This work is at an early stage. Due to the lack of available aligned sentence pairs, the first step is to collect training data. We plan to do so in two ways: crowdsourcing, or automatic discovery of aligned sentences from Simple English Wikipedia and English Wikipedia. We will then train the RNN encoder-decoder to score candidate words on a lexical simplification system. Our final goal is to build the RNN encoder-decoder model to simplify any English sentence.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements or links about open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No Due to the lack of available aligned sentence pairs, the first step is to collect training data. We plan to do so in two ways: crowdsourcing, or automatic discovery of aligned sentences from Simple English Wikipedia and English Wikipedia. The paper states that training data needs to be collected but does not provide access information for a public dataset used in this paper.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not present any experimental results or dataset splits (train/validation/test).
Hardware Specification No The paper proposes a model and discusses challenges and strategies, but does not report on any implemented experiments, therefore no hardware specifications are mentioned.
Software Dependencies No The paper discusses a neural network model but does not mention specific software dependencies with version numbers for implementation.
Experiment Setup No The paper proposes an approach and discusses conceptual challenges, but does not describe any specific experimental setup details such as hyperparameters or training configurations.
