# HunSimpleNews

The majority of the text simplification literature in NLP focuses on simplifying sentences.
From a theoretical standpoint, this approach is not entirely valid as it misses vital context
required to dissolve ambiguities in meaning, references and the process itself.

HunSimpleNews is the first Hungarian text simplification corpus that includes
the standard and simplified versions of whole documents.
The corpus contains news article pairs taken from the Serbian Hungarian news outlet
[Pannon RTV](https://pannonrtv.com/). The simplification was performed manually
by a journalist of the portal.
