document: Bilingual web page and site readability assessment Readability assessment is a method to measure the difficulty of a piece of text material , and it is widely used in educational field to assist instructors to prepare appropriate materials for students . In this paper , we investigate the applications of readability assessment in Web development , such that users can retrieve information which is appropriate to their levels . We propose a bilingual ( English and Chinese ) assessment scheme for Web page and Web site readability based on textual features , and conduct a series of experiments with real Web data to evaluate our scheme . Experimental results show that , apart from just indicating the readability level , the estimated score acts as a good heuristic to figure out pages with low textual content . Furthermore , we can obtain the overall content distribution in a Web site by studying the variation of its readability .
