The [CLARA-MeD project](https://clara-nlp.uned.es/home/med/) applies automatic natural language processing methods to enhance the accessibility of health information.
One of the approaches is term simplification; i.e. substituting a difficult-to-read word (e.g. *amigdalectomía*) with an easier or more explicative paraphrase (e.g. *operación de anginas*).
The CLARA-MeD repository includes the following work:
- A parallel corpus of technical-patient aligned sentences, extracted from the [CLARA-MeD](https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/269887) comparable corpus of technical and laymen documents.
- Models used in experiments to compare simplification approaches based on state-of-the-art neural-network algorithms.
