Abstract

Scientific text is complex as it contains technical terms by definition. Simplifying such text for non-domain experts enhances accessibility of innovation and information. Politicians could be enabled to understand new findings on topics on which they intend to pass a law, or family members of seriously ill patients could read about clinical trials. The SimpleText CLEF Lab focuses on exactly this problem of simplification of scientific text. Task 1.1 of the 2025 edition specifically handles the simplification of complex sentences, so very short texts with little context. To tackle this task we investigate the identification of complex terms in sentences which are rephrased using small Gemini and OpenAI large language models for non-expert readers.
