Claim 7:
8. A system to adjust digital content to match a determined user language proficiency level, which comprises:
a computer system comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:
receive digital content including words;
monitor word consumption activity of a user;
responsive to said monitoring, identify troublesome words associated with content consumption delays and establish a user language proficiency level based, at least in part, on a difficulty value associated with said troublesome words;
determine, using the computer, a word difficulty for the user, as at least part of the establishing of the user language proficiency level, based on the troublesome words;
identify, using the computer, a difficulty level associated with the troublesome words, the user language proficiency level being associated with the word difficulty;
identify a difficulty value associated with the troublesome words;
base the language proficiency level, at least in part, on the difficulty value;
identify words within said content that have a difficulty level above said language proficiency level;
responsive to said target word identification, identify from a word corpus available to said computer, exchange candidate words having a difficulty level equal to or below said language proficiency level;
generate using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm, word embeddings for said target words and said exchange candidate words;
select from the exchange candidate words, replacement words having word embeddings the same as the word embeddings of said target words; and
adjust said content by replacing the target words with the replacement words.
