What has been done and tried:

  1. We took all Simplification Corpora available for Italian;

  2. We analyzed the performance of various model on their tests set in a zero-shot settings:

    1. LLaMAntino-2-7b
    2. ANITA-9b
    3. Italia-9b
  3. We saw taht LLaMAntino was marginally better than the others on various scores like Read-IT, SARI, Bleu, BertScore and sBert.

  4. We tried fine-tuning all the previous models (plus Minerva-7B) to see if their performances improved: LLaMAntino performed ok, and improved, the other performed poorly.

  5. We took the Italian Wikipedia, and sampled 1000 sentences. We gave them in 0-shot to LLaMAntino-2-7b and, using a decoding technique, we sampled 10 different simplification for each sentence.

  6. We analyzed the distribution of the read-it scores on the sentences.
