TextToKids in a nutshell
The TextToKids project aims to facilitate the writing and the filtering of texts for children, especially but not only in order to tell them about current events (e.g., presidential elections, Brexit, reception of migrants in France, etc.) in respect of their language skills. The targeted age group is that of young readers, that is, the 7-12 age group.The consortium, which brings together linguists, computer scientists and specialized journalists, will seek to characterize the linguistic constraints to be respected for such a purpose and to propose assistive tools (automated textual analysis, search engine, reformulation, good practices). In terms of benefits, the project works in the direction of a "children's Internet" and opens a way to other modalities (speech, images).

This thesis, titled Analyse automatique des émotions dans les textes : contributions théoriques et applicatives dans le cadre de l’étude de la complexité des textes pour enfants, deals with emotion expression in texts from a linguistic perspective, and proposes a model for automatic emotion analysis.
The manuscript is already online on HAL : https://theses.hal.science/tel-04210908.
The thesis’ corpus will soon be available.
The model can be tested through the tool EMOTYC, available in the TextToKids pipeline: https://texttokids.ortolang.fr/

Albert journal joins the project
Following the sad disappearance of the newspaper Le P’tit Libé, we are pleased to announce that the newspaper Albert has joined the members of the project.
Albert is a French newspaper dedicated to children from 8 to 13 years old. Launched in September 2016 in Clermont-Ferrand, its ambition is to answer children’s questions by deciphering, at their level, with simple words, the daily news.
