Cloze items are a foundational approach to assessing readability. However, they require human data collection, thus making them impractical in automated metrics. The present study revisits the idea of assessing readability with cloze items and compares human cloze scores and readability judgments with predictions made by T5, a popular deep…

Is the natural number 7 rational? Is it complex? We argue that the answers to these questions relate to the ways numbers are taught. Commonly, a new kind of numbers is presented as an expansion of a previously familiar kind of numbers, which results in a nested image of the relations between number sets.
