Active Inference with People: a general approach to real-time adaptive experiments
Lucas Gautheron, Nori Jacoby, Peter Harrison
Adaptive experiments optimize their design throughout data collection, which can bring substantial benefits compared to conventional experimental settings. Potential applications i…
Popularity Feedback Constrains Innovation in Cultural Markets
Lucas Gautheron, Raja Marjieh, Dalton C. Conley +5
Real-world creative processes ranging from art to science rely on social feedback-loops between selection and creation. Yet, the effects of popularity feedback on collective creati…
Classification errors distort findings in automated speech processing: examples and solutions from child-development research
Lucas Gautheron, Evan Kidd, Anton Malko +2
With the advent of wearable recorders, scientists are increasingly turning to automated methods of analysis of audio and video data in order to measure children's experience, behav…
Fifteen Years of Child-Centered Long-Form Recordings: Promises, Resources, and Remaining Challenges to Validity
Loann Peurey, Marvin Lavechin, Tarek Kunze +4
Audio-recordings collected with a child-worn device are a fundamental tool in child language research. Long-form recordings collected over whole days promise to capture children's…
Dilemmas and trade-offs in the diffusion of conventions
