3rd Workshop on Tools and Resources for People with REAding DIfficulties (READI 2024)
Résumé
Recent studies show that the number of children and adults facing difficulties in reading and
understanding written texts is steadily growing. Reading challenges can show up early on
and may include reading accuracy, speed, or comprehension to the extent that the impairment
interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily life. Various technologies (text
customization, text simplification, text-to-speech devices, and screening for readers through
games and web applications, to name a few) have been developed to help poor readers to
get better access to information as well as to support reading development. Among those
technologies, text adaptations are a powerful way to leverage document accessibility by using
NLP techniques.
The 3rd Workshop on Tools and Resources for REAding DIfficulties (READI), collocated
with the International 2024 Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics,
Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC-COLING), aims at presenting current state-ofthe-
art techniques and achievements for text adaptations together with existing reading aids
and resources for lifelong learning. The materials can be addressed to children struggling with
difficulties in learning to read, to the community of teachers, speech-language pathologists and
parents seeking solutions, but also to professionals involved with adults struggling with reading
(illiterates, aphasic readers, low vision readers, etc.).
