In this pursuit, the question of what exactly about natural language contributes to its complexity (or lack thereof) is an interesting point of investigation. We propose a hybrid approach, utilizing shallow models to capture linguistic features, while leveraging a fine-tuned embedding model to encode the semantics of input text. By harmonizing these two methods, we achieve competitive scores in the given metric, and we demonstrate improvements over either singular method. In addition, we uncover the effectiveness of Gaussian processes in the training of shallow models for text complexity analysis.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/2022.germeval-1.9","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/2022.germeval-1.9.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"tum-sebis-at-germeval-2022-a-hybrid-model","repo_url":"https://github.com/sebischair/text-complexity-de-2022","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"tum-sebis-at-germeval-2022-a-hybrid-model","repo_url":"https://github.com/yangyucheng000/Paper-4/tree/main/TUMD","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"mindspore","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"tum-sebis-at-germeval-2022-a-hybrid-model","repo_url":"https://github.com/yangyucheng000/papercode-2/tree/main/TUMD-main","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"mindspore","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"gaussian-processes","task_name":"Gaussian Processes"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
