UOW-SHEF: SimpLex – Lexical Simplicity Ranking based on Contextual and Psycholinguistic Features

This paper describes SimpLex, a Lexical Simplification system that participated in the English Lexical Simplification shared task at SemEval-2012. It operates on the basis of a linear weighted ranking function composed of context sensitive and psycholinguistic features. The system outperforms a very strong baseline, and ranked first on the shared task.
