The first sentence says:

The origin of generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA) has a strong basis in the comparison of research results across languages (terms from interviews, surveys, panels, etc).

It would be nice if a person with a Ph.D. in statistics could read this first sentence and know what it says without reading the rest of the article. It would be even nicer if a lay reader to read the first sentence and at least know that it's something about statistical analysis of empirical data.
