Abstract

This paper reports on the University of Amsterdam’s participation in the CLEF 2023 SimpleText track. Our overall goal is to investigate and remove barriers that prevent the general public from accessing scientific literature, hoping to promote science literacy among the general public. Our specific focus is to investigate the relation between the topical relevance and the text complexity of the retrieved information within the context of the track’s setup. Our results suggest that text complexity is an essential aspect to consider for improving non-expert access to scientific information, and opens up new routes to develop effective scientific information access technology tailored to needs of the general public.
