We present the technical report of the system called RS GV at SemEval-2021 Task 1 on complexity prediction of English words. RS GV is a neural network using hand-crafted linguistic features in combination with character and word embeddings to predict the target words' complexity. For the generation of the handcrafted features, we set the target words in relation to their senses. RS GV predicts the complexity well of biomedical terms but it has problems with the complexity prediction of very complex and very simple target words.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
