Multimodal NLP research explores the integration of information from multiple sources, such as text, images, and audio, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of language and communication. By combining modalities, this field aims to enhance natural language processing applications, enabling machines to interpret and generate content in a more contextually aware and human-like manner.
Lexical Complexity Prediction (LCP) is a burgeoning field in NLP that aims to quantify and assess the complexity of vocabulary and language structure in texts. Researchers in LCP are developing models and methodologies to automatically predict the lexical complexity of written content, providing valuable insights into language difficulty and aiding in applications such as language education and content accessibility assessment.
