	Japanese
	lexical
	simplification is the task of replacing difficult words in a given sentence to
	produce a new sentence with simple words without changing the original meaning
	of the sentence.  We purpose a method of supervised regression learning to
	estimate difficulty ordering of words with statistical features obtained from
	two types of Japanese corpora.                                            For the
	similarity of
	words,
	we use
	a
	Japanese
	thesaurus and dependency-based word embeddings.  Evaluation of the proposed
	method is performed by comparing the difficulty ordering of the words.},
