CASSAurus: A Resource of Simpler Spanish Synonyms
Ricardo Baeza-Yates | Luz Rello | Julia Dembowski
Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'16)

In this work we introduce and describe a language resource composed of lists of simpler synonyms for Spanish. The synonyms are divided in different senses taken from the Spanish OpenThesaurus, where context disambiguation was performed by using statistical information from the Web and Google Books Ngrams. This resource is freely available online and can be used for different NLP tasks such as lexical simplification. Indeed, so far it has been already integrated into four tools.

DysList: An Annotated Resource of Dyslexic Errors
Luz Rello | Ricardo Baeza-Yates | Joaquim Llisterri
Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'14)

We introduce a language resource for Spanish, DysList, composed of a list of unique errors extracted from a collection of texts written by people with dyslexia. Each of the errors was annotated with a set of characteristics as well as visual and phonetic features. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest resource of this kind, especially given the difficulty of finding texts written by people with dyslexia
