The Common Readability Formula & Five Adjusted Readability Formulas for Text Simplification, Medical Documents and Other General Uses
Traditional readability formulas, or equations, are inaccurate and measure highly limited linguistic properties. Despite the recent machine learning-based readability assessment models, many researchers insist on using the outdated formulas. To replace the linguistically-shallow inaccurate formulas, we: : 1. introduce Common Readability Formula (CoRF), 2. recalibrate outdated formulas (Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Fog Index, SMOG Index, Coleman-Liau Index, and Automated Readability Index), 3. evaluate the formulas, and 4. develop a Python library for the wide dispersal of our variations.
