Abstract
Judging the readability of text has many important applications, for instance, in text simplification and when sourcing reading material for language learners. Additionally, being able to infer if a reader has understood text can be crucial when delivering critical information. In this talk I will present findings from a 600 participant study, collected in collaboration with Google, which investigates how the implicit user interactions of readers relate to (1) the complexity of a text and (2) the user’s comprehension of the text.
