Title

Controllable Sentence Simplification in Italian: Fine-Tuning Large Language Models on Automatically Generated Resources

Abstract

This paper presents a study on readability-controlled Sentence Simplification for Italian, addressing the scarcity of annotated resources for low-resource languages. We introduce IMPaCTS (Italian Multilevel Parallel Corpus for Text Simplification), the first fully automatically created corpus of 1,444,160 original–simple sentence pairs automatically annotated with readability levels and linguistic features. It was generated using an Italian LLM prompted in zero-shot to produce multiple simplifications per input sentence. Increasing portions of the resource are used to fine-tune mono- and multilingual open-weight LLMs, conditioning them to generate simplifications at a target readability level. Results from automatic and human evaluations show that fine-tuning on IMPaCTS improves performance both in terms of task completion and adherence to the targeted readability levels compared to few-shot baselines.
