Large-scale evidence for logarithmic effects of word predictability on reading time

C Shain, C Meister, T Pimentel… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
During real-time language comprehension, our minds rapidly decode complex meanings
from sequences of words. The difficulty of doing so is known to be related to words' …

Testing the predictions of surprisal theory in 11 languages

EG Wilcox, T Pimentel, C Meister, R Cotterell… - Transactions of the …, 2023 - direct.mit.edu
Surprisal theory posits that less-predictable words should take more time to process, with
word predictability quantified as surprisal, ie, negative log probability in context. While …

Expanding horizons of cross-linguistic research on reading: The Multilingual Eye-movement Corpus (MECO)

N Siegelman, S Schroeder, C Acartürk, HD Ahn… - Behavior research …, 2022 - Springer
Scientific studies of language behavior need to grapple with a large diversity of languages in
the world and, for reading, a further variability in writing systems. Yet, the ability to form …

A survey of word embeddings evaluation methods

A Bakarov - arXiv preprint arXiv:1801.09536, 2018 - arxiv.org
Word embeddings are real-valued word representations able to capture lexical semantics
and trained on natural language corpora. Models proposing these representations have …

Revisiting the uniform information density hypothesis

C Meister, T Pimentel, P Haller, L Jäger… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
The uniform information density (UID) hypothesis posits a preference among language
users for utterances structured such that information is distributed uniformly across a signal …

Improving natural language processing tasks with human gaze-guided neural attention

E Sood, S Tannert, P Müller… - Advances in Neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
A lack of corpora has so far limited advances in integrating human gaze data as a
supervisory signal in neural attention mechanisms for natural language processing (NLP) …

Prediction in reading: A review of predictability effects, their theoretical implications, and beyond

R Wong, ED Reichle, A Veldre - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2024 - Springer
Historically, prediction during reading has been considered an inefficient and cognitively
expensive processing mechanism given the inherently generative nature of language, which …

CogniVal: A framework for cognitive word embedding evaluation

N Hollenstein, A de la Torre, N Langer… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
An interesting method of evaluating word representations is by how much they reflect the
semantic representations in the human brain. However, most, if not all, previous works only …

ZuCo 2.0: A dataset of physiological recordings during natural reading and annotation

N Hollenstein, M Troendle, C Zhang… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We recorded and preprocessed ZuCo 2.0, a new dataset of simultaneous eye-tracking and
electroencephalography during natural reading and during annotation. This corpus contains …
