JCT at SemEval-2021 Task 1: Context-aware Representation for Lexical Complexity Prediction

Chaya Liebeskind, Otniel Elkayam, Shmuel Liebeskind


Abstract
In this paper, we present our contribution in SemEval-2021 Task 1: Lexical Complexity Prediction, where we integrate linguistic, statistical, and semantic properties of the target word and its context as features within a Machine Learning (ML) framework for predicting lexical complexity. In particular, we use BERT contextualized word embeddings to represent the semantic meaning of the target word and its context. We participated in the sub-task of predicting the complexity score of single words
