49
 
50
  [DEplain-web](https://github.com/rstodden/DEPlain) [(Stodden et al., 2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18939) is a dataset for the evaluation of sentence and document simplification in German. All texts of this dataset are scraped from the web. All documents were licenced with an open license. The simple-complex sentence pairs are manually aligned.
51
  This dataset only contains a test set. For additional training and development data, please scrape more data from the web using a [web scraper for text simplification data](https://github.com/rstodden/data_collection_german_simplification) and align the sentences of the documents automatically using, for example, [MASSalign](https://github.com/ghpaetzold/massalign) by [Paetzold et al. (2017)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/I17-3001/).
52
 
53
- #### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
54
 
55
  The dataset supports the evaluation of `text-simplification` systems. Success in this task is typically measured using the [SARI](https://huggingface.co/metrics/sari) and [FKBLEU](https://huggingface.co/metrics/fkbleu) metrics described in the paper [Optimizing Statistical Machine Translation for Text Simplification](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/Q16-1029.pdf).

- #### Languages
58
 
59
  The texts in this dataset are written in German (de-de). The texts are in German plain language variants, e.g., plain language (Einfache Sprache) or easy-to-read language (Leichte Sprache).
60
 
61
- #### Domains
62
  The texts are from 6 different domains: fictional texts (literature and fairy tales), bible texts, health-related texts, texts for language learners, texts for accessibility, and public administration texts.

The document-level test set, also only contains the documents which are manually aligned. For document-level dev and test set the documents which are not aligned or not public available are used. For the sentence-level, the alingment pairs can be produced by automatic alignments (see [Stodden et al., 2023](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18939)).

178

  We provide a manually aligned corpus to boost text simplification research in German.
181

184
- ##### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
185
  The parallel documents were scraped from the web using a [web scraper for text simplification data](https://github.com/rstodden/data_collection_german_simplification).
186
  The texts of the documents were manually simplified by professional translators.
187
  The data was split into sentences using a German model of SpaCy.
188
  Two German native speakers have manually aligned the sentence pairs by using the text simplification annotation tool [TS-ANNO](https://github.com/rstodden/TS_annotation_tool) by [Stodden & Kallmeyer (2022)](https://aclanthology.org/2022.acl-demo.14/).

+ # DEplain-web-doc: A corpus for German Document Simplification
31
+ DEplain-web-doc is a subcorpus of DEplain [Stodden et. al., 2023]((https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18939)) for document simplification.
32
+ The corpus consists of 396 (199/50/147) parallel documents crawled from the web in standard German and plain German (or easy-to-read German). All documents are either published under an open license or the copyright holders gave us the permission to share the data.
33
+ If you are interested in a larger corpus, please check our paper and the provided web crawler to download more parallel documents with a closed license.
34
+
35
+ Human annotators also sentence-wise aligned the 147 documents of the test set to build a corpus for sentence simplification.
36
+ For the sentence-level version of this corpus, please see [https://huggingface.co/datasets/DEplain/DEplain-web-sent](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DEplain/DEplain-web-sent).
37
+ The documents of the training and development set were automatically aligned using MASSalign.
38
+ You can find this data here: [https://github.com/rstodden/DEPlain/](https://github.com/rstodden/DEPlain/tree/main/E__Sentence-level_Corpus/DEplain-web-sent/auto/open).
39
+ If you use this data, please use with caution as the alignment quality might be error-prone.
