A plea for more interactions between psycholinguistics and natural language processing research Ghent University
Megastudies, crowdsourcing, and large datasets in psycholinguistics: an overview of recent developments introduction Ghent University
This paper introduces and summarizes the special issue on megastudies, crowdsourcing, and large datasets in psycholinguistics. We provide a brief historical overview and show how the papers in this issue have extended the field by compiling new databases and making important theoretical contributions. In addition, we discuss several studies that use text corpora to build distributional semantic models to tackle several interesting problems in ...
German and Dutch in contrast : synchronic, diachronic and psycholinguistic perspectives Ghent University
Designed as a contribution to contrastive linguistics, the present volume brings up-to-date the comparison of German with its closest neighbour, Dutch, and other Germanic relatives like English, Afrikaans, and the Scandinavian languages. It takes its inspiration from the idea of a "Germanic Sandwich", i.e. the hypothesis that sets of genetically related languages diverge in systematic ways in diverse domains of the linguistic system. Its ...
Explaining human performance in psycholinguistic tasks with models of semantic similarity based on prediction and counting : a review and empirical validation Ghent University
Recent developments in distributional semantics (Mikolov, Chen, Corrado, & Dean, 2013; Mikolov, Sutskever, Chen, Corrado, & Dean, 2013) include a new class of prediction based models that are trained on a text corpus and that measure semantic similarity between words. We discuss the relevance of these models for psycholinguistic theories and compare them to more traditional distributional semantic models. We compare the models' ...
Disentangling correlation between speed and ability at the subject level and between intensity and difficulty at the item level from psycholinguistic data: a joint modeling approach Ghent University
In psycholinguistic experiments multiple subjects are faced with multiple test items. Despite the early 70's paper of Clark (1973) arguing that averaging reaction times from such experiments over items for each subject and averaging over subjects for each item respectively, using these means in ANOVA-models (referred to as F1 and F2 statistics), and drawing inference from both statistics separately may be incorrect, the vast majority of ...
A joint modeling approach for reaction time and accuracy in psycholinguistic experiments Ghent University
In the psycholinguistic literature, reaction times and accuracy can be analyzed separately using mixed (logistic) effects models with crossed random effects for item and subject. Given the potential correlation between these two outcomes, a joint model for the reaction time and accuracy may provide further insight. In this paper, a Bayesian hierarchical framework is proposed that allows estimation of the correlation between time intensity and ...
